What do you think of a novel titled "Insincerity" about different characters with varying sincerities and why you can't be too sincere or insincere in life?

The snark will continue until the United States submits like a clicker trained puppy girl.

Ah yes, this is what all authors will tell you, start with a cool title idea and work backwards. Don't come up with a cool story idea and then create a title that's a clever reference to themes of the story.

Just like my favorite screenplay, Mr. Slopadopolus Goes To Washington.

What do you think of a treatise titled "Capital: A Critique of Political Economy" about critiquing the political economy of capitalism?

the contents of a book really don't matter as much as a good descriptive title

1984 is my favourite novel because it tells me everything I need to know in the title.

hard to imagine why Jorjor Wellian never wrote a sequel, because 1985 is a really really good title.

oh wait, wait! check this out: 1984 II

It's a great use for AI. With ChatGPT, I was able to generate a new sequel to 1984 for every subsequent year. I've read every Orwell novel through 2037. I was also able to cut out all the political stuff so it's just about me and my problems if I lived in England.

JORJOR WELLIAN: Dio'Brien Brando. Your crimes against objective reality end here.

DIO'BRIEN BRANDO: Objective reality? You still believe such a thing exists? Then answer me this, Jorjor...

«dramatic zoom»

DIO'BRIEN BRANDO: How many fingers am I holding up?

JORJOR WELLIAN: Four.

DIO'BRIEN BRANDO: Wrong! It's five!!

JORJOR WELLIAN: No, it's clearly—

DIO'BRIEN BRANDO:

「DOUBLETHINK WORLD」! ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ

DIO'BRIEN BRANDO: My Stand allows me to stop consistency itself! For five seconds, contradictory facts can coexist!! The ration was increased and decreased!!! The war has always been against Eastasia and never against Eastasia!!!! I won and lost this battle simultaneously!!!!!

Insincerity sounds like a great title for a wuxia story, we could have our main character saying" you are not showing enough sincerity" as his catch phrase when extorting people.
