I read "The Way We Live Now" and it revolves around the stock mania of building railroads but also because it's by Trollope it had plenty of hot upper class on lower class action. I was like, "drat, the mania for buying stocks in these rail companies that are nothing more than rumors is like the internet craze from the 00s or the theme of the song 'Big Rock Candy Mountain'" and then I googled to read criticism of the book and the first academic was like, "ON THE SURFACE, IDIOTS WILL DRAW PARALLELS BETWEEN THE STOCK MARKET MANIA OF THE BOOK AND THE INTERNET BUBBLE" so I stopped trying to read what others said about the books I read and instead read for pleasure... so no more Trollope, we're reading Zola where he still writes about heavily speculating in real estate and the stock market during the Second Empire but the son of the main character has nasty sex with his step mom
