When I read my first Tom Clancy novel I thought what most dated it, tied it to the ’90s, was its confidence—the belief in experts, the trust in institutions, the faith in technology. I wrote a whole essay about it, I found it so striking.
These days, I think what most dates Clancy is how many of his characters are empowered with real responsibility in their early thirties.
