Ok, so kind of random and out there, but what genre is coming up next?
In the roman era, the FOTC was satyre.
The colonial Americans read personal "blogs" essentially.
Civil war era folks liked heroic tales of brothers in arms.
The French revolutionists liked poetry.
In Korea, it was rock and roll "fuck the man" stories and biographies.
Between 1900 and now, it has been a toss up between fantasy and futuristic fiction.
What do you think our generation will decide to be the next FOTC genre of writing style?
FOTC = Flavor of the Century
