Mason said NL was dead (essays Vol 1) but I think he was wrong

It was probably true at the time he wrote it; NL cash did all but die until televised tournament poker revived it.

NL was dead at the time he wrote that. There was little or no online poker, and the live NL games were truly NL. They had no buy-in caps. Poor players quickly went bust in such games. Today, a fish can buy into a $25 online game and brag about playing NL, the Cadillac of poker.
