In 2015, 6 of the top 25 bestselling hardcover books—this is a not-perfect but useful proxy for new books published—were fiction.
In 2025, 18 of the top 25 hardcover books were fiction, meaning only 7 were nonfiction, almost an exact inversion of ten years ago.
So the culture of this grouping may be tracking a change in the mode of production.
Another OODA heuristic!
Cypherpunk 2027 ,bringing the singularity , would turn all reference works to dust.
But we need some tension first. The realization and supression of the spectacle. World liberty.
A helicopter chase to the statue of Happiness. Eschaton. Satori. End of history.
