Why has no one updated Dante's Inferno to make current people or past 20th century people be in the rings of hell? (lemmy.world)

Enjoy.

One thing I enjoy with the old science fiction novels is when the author misses some piece of technology. "Starship Troopers" has a guy who regularly travels faster than light gushing over a portable piano.

I think I remember landline phones in "Ringworld" but I could be wrong.
