Claire Messud's book 'The Emperor's Children' depicts haughty young characters and successful adults in early-aughts New York, with vocabulary and style from another time, contrasting with today's fast-paced literary scene.
Messud criticizes smartphones as a significant loss, emphasizing the value of real life over technology, a theme evident in her works that favor classical literature over modern social media influences.
