Is there a book about this phenomenon?>One generation starts having a bad and degrading attitude against "nerds" or people with "high functioning autistic" traits, basically the people who are more likely to become engineers etc.>The next generation suffers from decaying infrastructure, the trains no longer run on time, unreliable postal service, and stuff no longer "just work" anymore.
This is incorrect because every generation in human history has maligned nerds and autists, yet technology and society have gotten better over the past few thousand years.
