How are popular books about popular culture an indicator of rising IQ? You mean, e.g., a book about Michael Jackson?

I've explained, but I was thinking about books looking at the physics or philosophy implications of particular popular shows or books.

It could just be that such books would have been popular a century ago, but no one thought to write and/or publish them.
