ah yes, the most complex literature never uses any critical theory.
everything is the way it is because it's supposed to be that way and speculative fiction is about having cool tech in the future.
I'm not the first to make the observation, but the defunding and de-emphasis of humanities and social sciences (besides capitalist economics) has yielded us a society where cutting edge technologies and billions of dollars are spent telling the shittiest, most pablum stories.
I'll take a broke historian and a campfire over anything this cretin farts out.
