  1. I'm looking for a book that satorizes western consumerist culture, that really rips into the selfish, ignorant, vapid, banal, insulated, apathetic lifestyles of affluent nations. Basically, a book that tackles the issue of people being reduced to commodities, of unsustainable hedonistic pursuits, that kind of thing. The closest thing I can find is American Psycho (haven't read yet), but I'm hoping to find something more contemporary, written from 2000 onwards, ideally includes stuff like social media in its far-sweeping critique. Just to be clear I'm not looking for a book about politics (eg/ Noam Chomsky's work), but rather a work of fiction (eg/ 1984 and its totalitarian themes).
