I've been stewing on this story a lot, and I think I'll make a little thread.

Spoilers. Do not read thread until you read story. Definitely read story. I know that the story is a pastiche (or whatever it should be termed) of the Tom Wolfe essay. But that wasn't the comparison that really struck me.

I didn't realize it until earlier tonight, but what this story most reminded me of was Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut.

Fellas, you want to know the real reason you need to read the Classics™?

So that you can distill them for your children (and grandchildren).

Imagine not seeing the look of wonder in their eye when you tell them how Alexander conquered the known world. Imagine not being the first one to tell them about Samson, or David, or Noah.

Imagine being willing to GIVE UP the honour of explaining the Sword in the Stone or the Labors of Hercules or Beowulf and Grendel... To fucking HOLLYWOOD.
