Not sure, maybe I didn't distill out the author's position correctly but it seems intuitive to me.
Are books about war popular in war times or do they become popular afterwards? I think there may be something unique about speculative fiction vs. depressing stuff about the present time, which I find myself drawn to.

It seems like such a lazy take. Lots of incredibly popular books were published during terrible times in history, why would this be different?
