Identity politics around sexuality, race, age, university academics, and class are brought to their most satirically outrageous extremes. Far-left and far-right fantasies come true, hand-in-hand, in bloody revolution. Stereotypes in characters are vaulted into the stratosphere. The book, like Fight Club 2, seems to be a good trolling mockery of the cult of Durden -- but Adjustment Day is also swinging at government conspiracies, internet and media outrage against everything, cultural marxist nihilism, and more. Imagine if the social media battlefield around these subjects were actually taking place in physical reality, seeking an immediate resolution? You'd probably get a parallel universe that attempts to overthrow everything at one time on Adjustment Day.
