The Socratic Dialogues

I think this book, if we were talking about it 20 years ago or maybe 30 years ago, we would say it's a work of postmodern, whatever. Because it has this kind of wink wink nudge, nudge, fourth wall kind of thing going on to it. The things that it's in conversation with, but not in the sense of like commenting on them directly are the Socratic, you know, the Republic and all the other dialogues,. And then, um, uh, utopia, the Thomas, more book, right? I just think that what's underneath, there isn't a whole lot underneath, right?
