I really don't understand the impetus behind articles like this. Surely they'd be better off writing about underrated books? inews.co.uk/culture/book...

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
