In 50 years, will writers celebrate the culture of the early internet?
Maybe a little. But desu most of the appeal of there internet is the novelty and newness, the feeling of being on it.
I doubt that will translated into lit well.
I'm sure eventually writers will be able to talk about phones and texts without it seeking forced though
Not really related to OP, but has anyone written a novel which takes place on the internet?

I checked out the summary and read some reviews and it does seem interesting, but what do you think?
I'd like to have a review of someone from here before I start reading to know what I'm in for.

I wouldn't know, desu. I've downloaded it when the author posted here, but have only skimmed the first few pages.
We already are.

Would you invite a serial killer into you home?
If you have a computer and a modem, you may have already opened the door...
Your life is in jeopardy. As you read this, you are within reach of a murderer.
So begins a macabre message posted on Verba -- an electronic bulletin board, a virtual meeting place where anyone with a computer and a modem can exchange views, flirt, or argue with complete anonymity. But an ingenious serial killer under the innocent-sounding name of Snowflake is using the vast potential of the Net to choose victims for a deadly f2f -- a face-to-face meeting.

The early internet or the early web? Important distinction.
>>7878483
Yeah, this.
Look back at the culture of the earliER internet if you want to imagine how people will look back on the culture of the internet today.
It was raw creativity, immature, primitive and unfettered, and it created an aimless mess that still managed to have a small degree of cohesion. It was almost like cave paintings.

I remember some teen novel from when I was in high school. It was titled LMAOMFG or something, and the entirety of the novel was in the format of IM messages.
