I’m intrigued by academism. It’s a forgotten bureaucratic, institutional, “scientific” style but 

a) more historically important styles like Impressionism defined themselves against it 

b) It was the form of European art that got exported to Asia, leading to fusion with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_

I strongly suspect modern unreadable “program lit” similarly serves as a foil to more vivid stuff that actually gets read, including genre https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v32/n18/elif-batuman/get-a-real-degree

I’m going to bet AIs will nail both high literary program-lit and extremely tropey pulp stuff before they nail the middle, if they ever do.

I suspect the enduring writing of the last century or so will be the stuff that lends itself best to tv/movie adaptation, not James Joyce etc. High vs low culture is less important than rich-media adaptability
