Yeah, I read and enjoyed that book. I think when we're stuck in such stultifying times as we have been since 2008 and before, it's inevitable that we all look backwards to more imagined uplifting/better times, and possibly we find it easy to imagine a past that never was.

When we were kids, to paraphrase Jarvis. 'We we're brought up on the space race, and then expected to clean toiets'.

Society as a whole does seem stuck in a perpetual backward gazing cycle.
