The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and other works by #MarkTwain gave us archetypes of modern America. The lovable scalp of a small town boy who dreams of a wider world; it could be Tom Sawyer or Luke Skywalker.
Another new fangled thing of the Gilded Age was new fangled things. Technology, advancement. The utopian future, the difficulty and stress of constant change. The fear of dystopia and the fascination with gadgets. #MarkTwain wrote of all this, and these things still excite us and vex us.
