Why is this so completely inaccurate?

>>6814463
it's not, it's just being general. you can find almost any one of those instances at any point in literature, but they really only become central concerns in their respective epochs.

man vs.............reality?

No, the postmodernism section is ridiculous. Man vs Technology is a central conflict in modernist fiction. The whole idea of modernism grew as a reaction to the industrial revolution and the way it fundamentally changed the lives of the average individual to the point where the old methods of storytelling are outmoded.

When people complain about post modernism, it seems most of the time they are really talking about modernism.

PKD in general. Lots of science fiction skirts these ideas. I would also consider some DFW and Kafka as "vs reality". These are the only authors that I enjoy off the top of my head that deal with metaphysics in their fiction.

Read pic related. It's one of my favorite books ever written.

That's because postmodernism is a label that a few modernists have applied to themselves to distinguish themselves from previous modernists. PoMo is just modernism that's alienated itself from itself through its own natural movement and progression. History books won't differentiate between the two terms.

Essentially this image is wrong about everything.

1. The way they divide literature (Classical, Modern, Postmodern) is fucking retarded and dooms the image from the outset.
2. All of the conflicts under Modern are common in "Classical" fiction as well.
3. Man vs. technology was a huge part of modernism, and I'm sure you can find examples of it in older movements as well.
4. Man vs. reality is a timeless theme.
5. Metafiction existed before postmodernism, though I suppose it's fair to classify it as a chiefly postmodern device.
6. Themes from the older "periods" in this image are also found all the time in the later ones, though I'm not sure if the image is trying to imply otherwise.

tl;dr all of these conflicts are found throughout literature, more or less.
