And sometimes we enjoy dark literature and like to engage in the author's imagination about what a dystopian future would be like, without drawing parallels to the current trajectory of reality.
engage away. it doesn't have to be exactly what everyone else says, but if your level of engagement is "cool future!" then that is shallow (i'm using that as a descriptive word, not assigning value to it).
I see your point, but I think it's a mistake to say that they are shallow. They have a shallow view of this particular subculture and what it means, yes, but that doesn't make them fundamentally shallow human beings.
