Literary notes about mindset (AI summary)
In literature, "mindset" functions as a powerful shorthand to capture distinctive ways of thinking that shape behavior and culture. Writers employ it to illustrate technological attitudes—such as the "droid mentality" that underlies robotic behavior [1] and the hacker ethos featured in portraits of tech-savvy individuals [2, 3]—as well as to comment on broader socio-economic and historical shifts, like the attitudes prevalent at the turn of the last century [4]. It also marks various professional and cultural stances, ranging from the transition in personal habits, as when a reporter mindset supplants that of a lazy commuter [5], to debates surrounding intellectual property [6]. Moreover, the term highlights rebellious or nonconformist perspectives, whether in defiant artistic expressions [7] or in the nuanced understanding of regional political dynamics and even criminal tendencies [8, 9].
