I have never in my life seen anybody actually look back and ask before reclining.
Who ever said there’s no courtesy in air travel anymore?

I hope your laptop screen gets unexpectedly crushed next flight. ^

IMHO, you don't need to ask, you really don’t need to look back, but PLEASE, just go slowly.
