#few people

In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I got restless. ↗

Everything is ironic to me. There are moments I find hysterical, but I'm probably the only one who would find that, except for a few people. ↗

So, I guess the answer to your question is very few people can bring off a novel of the future because it's just so damn hard to make it look like the future. ↗
