Watching Trilly, Odnarb, Geralt and others manically shitpost increasingly more absurd and self-referential memes at each other in /new for hours on end was basically how I spent all my time at work for most of 2018.

Postmodern literature is best understood as a cultural current that arose from around the 1960s-ish (continuing to current day-ish) as a reaction to Modernism. While there are many common themes, literary techniques, and styles under the umbrella of the term 'postmodern' (eg intertextuality, metafiction, poioumena etc etc), this isn't the first time that literature has engaged with those ideas, so the historical context is also as reaction to Modernism (which in turn is a reaction to Romanticism!) and its cultural current is important.

I personally use the broad definition of "Text engaging with its own artificiality" as a neat, if reductive, one-liner to describe the trajectory of literary Postmodernism.

Check out this short story: Lost in the Funhouse by John Barth (.doc download link) it's a masterpiece work of metafiction.

Also keep in mind PoMo is broadly applied (and mis-applied) across all types of fields (philosophy, feminism, literature, architecture, etc). While certainly disciplines intersect, draw inspiration from one another, and were born out of the same historical epoch (Western post-war era) it'd be a mistake to think all of these "Postmodernisms" as one singular thing with one underlying principal to tie them together.

Alexandra, an unmarried event planner in her 30s, e-mailed: "Hot? SO HOT!!!!! THAT UNIFORM!" In a more restrained way, my friend Maggie, a writer/mom, explained: "I think he is actually protecting me and my sons, and I find that attractive in a man." Suzi, who did her mom time and now writes biographies, also began with restraint. I asked, casually, what she thought about President Bush. She answered, carefully, "He's so confident. He is a very credible, trustworthy leader." "Yeah," I pursue, "but do you think he's sexy?" "Oh God, yes," she said. "I mean, that swagger. George Bush in a pair of jeans is a treat to watch." This from a soft-spoken woman inclined to intellectual pursuits.

Calling for a complete and total shut down of conservative sexual pathology until we can figure out what's going on.

I have big dumb guy action movie energy and always loved where he describes the factory as like a lovecraftian demonic machine god.

An organised system of machines, to which motion is communicated by the transmitting mechanism from a central automaton, is the most developed form of production by machinery. Here we have, in the place of the isolated machine, a mechanical monster whose body fills whole factories, and whose demon power, at first veiled under the slow and measured motions of his giant limbs, at length breaks out into the fast and furious whirl of his countless working organs.

You're probably thinking of Ch 13: Cooperation. Although it's not as simple as more cooperation = more efficiency, so depending on what you're investigating you might want to read all of Part 4 (Ch 12-15).

Here's the short of it. Cooperation cannot be thought of as in itself and transhistorical. The mode of production becomes more developed, simple cooperation moves on to manufacture and then to machinery and the factory. However so long as capitalist employment of machinery for commodity production is the dominant mode of production laborers effectively become slaves of the factory.

... Machinery, considered alone, shortens the hours of labour, but, when in the service of capital, lengthens them; since in itself it lightens labour, but when employed by capital, heightens the intensity of labour; since in itself it is a victory of man over the forces of Nature, but in the hands of capital, makes man the slave of those forces; since in itself it increases the wealth of the producers, but in the hands of capital, makes them paupers...
