Don't kill the messenger :)
But Ballard would be a great addition to this iceberg.

Yes, I know about Cyberpunk 2077's cyberpsychosis, but it is purely fictional and related to a world that could emerge far away in the future. The premise of the new major mental illness in "Piaget's Last Fear" is extremely plausible right now, in the world we're currently living in.

First heard of Ballard ages ago when I got caught up with Joy Division. They had "Atrocity Exhibition" on Closer, I think.
