ozymandias271:

the Sequences are really down on postmodernism given that they’re written by a guy who’s written, like, one non-postmodernist piece of fiction

Especially considering that the Sequences themselves contain like all the major postmodernist insights just repackaged into a STEM-comprehensible form. We are basically a bunch of (steel) postmodernists very confusedly distancing ourselves from what we think postmodernism is.
