I can recommend the comic “Transmetropolitan” by Warren Ellis, which deals with this and many other questions.

You have to imagine what it would be like for someone who lived in 1826 too wake up today, in a world where nothing they know is relevant, they have no connections, no idea what to do with any of it. Historians might want to interview you, or the first couple of people like you, but then what?

You will be an audience member to a show you don’t understand, until you die.
