Stories of a collective plot play second fiddle to individual plot (self-actualise yourself, but you are self-actualising yourself in a nightmare). Actually, there isn't even a collective plot anymore. Fundamentalists want to hide in their stupid past-world. Transhumanists want to hide in a computer. Here I think post-modern multiculturalism is in fact a view that itself produces fundamentalism because it gives us no direction - then people just stupidly cling to a non-existent past or a non-existent future.stories where plot plays second fiddle to individual growth.
