On the one hand, "The End of Novelty" indicates changes to humanity across the board, with specific changes inside of poker (The End of Poker as we know it).
Idiocracy is here, or around the corner; the only thing Mike Judge left out of his eponymous movie is that the future is androgynous -- the future is Vanessa Selbst and Jason Somerville.

But on the other hand, there is a definite focus on poker, as it relates to the future in general, and to the future of (the end of) poker more specifically.
Androgynous idiocracy aside, the future is full of people who will not stand for Doc Sands taking forever to make a play. The poker players of the future either do Doc Sands better than Doc Sands ever did Doc Sands, or they are EVEN MORE ANNOYING than Doc Sands, because, well, Doc Sands started it.
