The future is dependent on the present which is dependent on the past, or rather all things are happening.
Then read those books written in people's spare time. Such books are already available, but you don't want them. There's nothing rhetorical about it. The best literature tends not to be written by people in a their few spare moments, it tends to be written by people who are able to devote themselves full time to writing. And even if someone does produce a really good book in their spare time, they would produce more good works if they were able to dedicate themselves full time. Da Vinci's work would have been diminished if he hadn't been able to devote himself to it full time.
