The Glass Bead Game

Basically the same novel, but Castalia is an online university, and the eponymous Glass Bead Game is developed by an agile scrum looking to disrupt academia and hack society through the gameification of knowledge.

Joseph Knecht's self-driving car ploughs through a barrier and into a lake at the end while he's showing Designori's kid his TED talk about making sure you don't lose touch with reality on his phone.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Czech doctor Tomas fucks around while his wife posts stuff like "feeling let down :/" regularly on Facebook to his and everyone else's utter disinterest.

Doctor J Off posted:

Steppenwolf
A lifelong incel works on his great exhortation against the modern world, posting great volumes on Internet forums about how sensitive, nice guys are doomed to isolation. Through a chance meeting, he meets a blue haired woman playing Pokémon go, and through her he is introduced to the enriching world of anime fandom.
And about 90% of the way through the story he realises that the blue haired woman was just an avatar he made inside his oculus rift all along
