Product info

<p>People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They've been reading a mysterious book and memorizing its directives. They are ready for the reckoning.</p><p><i>Adjustment Day</i>, the author's first novel in four years, is an ingeniously comic work in which Chuck Palahniuk does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians bring the nation to the brink of a third world war in an effort to control the burgeoning population of young males; working-class men dream of burying the elites; and professors propound theories that offer students only the bleakest future.</p><p>Into this dyspeptic time a blue-black book is launched carrying such wisdom as: </p><p><i>Imagine there's no God. There is no Heaven or Hell. There is only your son and his son and his son and the world you leave for them.</i></p><p><i>The weak want you to forgo your destiny just as they've shirked theirs.</i></p><p><i>A smile is your best bulletproof vest.</i></p><p>When Adjustment Day arrives, it fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche.</p>
