also I think Boondocks has done a hell of a job satirizing this and many other issues while getting a point across very clearly author is definetely a Huey

Nice wordsmithing, quite self indulgent while presenting to be benevolent. I do agree with a lot of points but conclusions are a miss. I would say that the biggest issue here is that the world is accelerating more and more. Information barrage is intense and squeezing books for entertainment is a non-trivial task. While author talks about US, similar trends are present globally without the force of spooky “imperialistic hand”.
