ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ego-Futurism

Okay, kiddo, let's talk about a type of art and literature movement called "ego-futurism." It's kind of like magic, where people use their imagination to create something new and cool.

In ego-futurism, people like to focus on themselves and their feelings. They imagine what the future will look like, but they do it by thinking about what would make them happy, instead of what other people might like or what is practical.

It's like when you draw a picture of yourself as a superhero, with a big cape and flying around. You're imagining a future where you're awesome and in control. That's kind of what ego-futurism is all about, but for grown-ups who write books or make art.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
