Why read it?
1 author picked Adjustment Day as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Satires are mostly identified with laughter and larger-than-life figures moving in equally absurd settings with this… theatrical tone used to amplify, highlight very real issues.

From Andre's list on highly political satirical.
