If you want a lesson in the bizarre juxtaposition of dated things-that-you-also-grew-up-with, read the new Pynchon novel. Napster's in there, as well as a a whole lot of other things (y2k, patriot act, etc) that already seem dated to write about -- but that's the point, after all the book came out in '12.

Really just read the thing in general, it's a masterpiece. Or have you read it?

I have a lot to say about it. It's part of my "read a ton of books this summer" project. Gonna do a big writeup or something in August, maybe I'll write more about it then.
