Last semester I had a class which put a focus on post-modernism and by prof said there could never be anything in literature after post-modernism. I think this is bullshit as there is an art, music, and cinima movement which warps nostalgia into something recognizable but alien at the same time. I think we're moving into post-post-modernism and I'm working on an essay about this but I need books to support my thesis. Halp pls.

Every single one of these passages deserves a retarded wojak reaction.

DFW's New Sincerity™, Houellebecq's reactionary whatever-it-is, rupi kaur's neoliberal individualist social media feminism™™™, Ready Player One's faux-reflective nostalgia, the self-aware but still self-damaging bling-and-bitches hip-hop that gets put out by artists who regularly produce better work.

And whatever the fuck these ironic kitsch memes are.

Maybe Snowcrash, Ready Plebber One or J.G Ballard books. As for non fiction excluding biographies, reports and academic I don't know. But Vaporwave isn't post anything other than the era you pleb lol.
