Where people had become so isolated, everything was delivered to there homes so there was no need to leave, and over time people found it impossible to leave home. I don’t know if I have the right book, that was at least 40 yes ago. Back when you’d go in a book store and you’d be lucky to find a half shelf of sci-fi and Fantasy. Now there are entire sections with rows of those kinds of titles.

I remember I was out backpacking and reading Dune. Ran into a couple guys who told me about Lord of the Rings. First time I’d ever heard of it. They also turned me on to Robert E Howard and Conan. Though I ended up preferring Solomon Kane.
