Richard Thieme's The Last Science Fiction Story.

Which isn't so much a science fiction story as a meditation on SF, society, information, culture, etc.

Why, exactly, have none of you bastards ever pointed me at it before?

I like reading stuff like this, but I also can't help but be amused by it, and hopefully not in a derogatory way. To put it another way...I like thinking about this sort of stuff, like Plato's forms and stuff like that, but I also find it...unrealistic is the word that's coming to mind, but it's more that they're describing a world that hasn't gotten here yet.
