"If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic."Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Better known through it's movie adaptation featuring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, Fight Club is in fact a postmodernist satire published in 1996 by Chuck Palahniuk. The novel follows an insomniac working class who ends up establishing an underground fighting club with mysterious Tyler Durden as radical psychotherapy.

Mostly being regarded as an existentialist or even nihilistic text, Fight Club deals with the alienation of prosperity. In a hyper-materialistic world, what is the meaning of life if one does not want to be defined by material gains and possessions? What one could do if one doesn't want to be reduced to just a number? Only search for raw physical sensations to remind ourselves that we're still "living"?
