I love how people pretend that writers of today are somehow worse than writers of old.
Read some social commentary from the time on Dickens. Or Orwell. Or Huxley.
You'll find people ripping them and lauding the previous greats. Especially Dickens, who was reviled as an author for the "stupid people."
Shakespere too was for the idiots.. often referred to as someone who would take the greek and roman classics and dumb them down for the idiots to handle.
But then again, uphill , both ways, in the snow.
