The book is a gripping and darkly humorous exploration of masculinity, consumerism, and identity in modern society, told through the eyes of an unnamed protagonist suffering from insomnia. Disillusioned with his white-collar job and desperate for escape, he forms an underground fight club as a radical form of psychotherapy, which evolves into a cult-like organization with a destructive agenda. The narrative takes a surreal turn as the lines between reality and the protagonist's mental state blur, leading to a shocking twist that challenges the reader's perception of the narrator and the nature of his reality.

The 1354th greatest book of all time
