Giambattista Vico, in his New Science, posited a cycle of three phases—Theocratic, Aristocratic, Democratic—followed by a chaos out of which a New Theocratic Age would at last emerge. Joyce made grand seriocomic use of Vico in organizing Finnegans Wake, and I have followed in the wake of the Wake, except that I have omitted the literature of the Theocratic Age. […] It may be that the new Theocratic Age of the twenty-first century, whether Christian or Muslim or both or neither, will amalgamate with the Computer Era, already upon us in early versions of “virtual reality” and “the hypertext.”
Harold Bloom, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages (1994)
