As clueless politicians are on the verge of kick-starting the third world war, those beneath them only dream of clawing their way to the top.Īdjustment Day will come, and there is no stopping this fact. Unfortunately, the amount of reasonable people or the power they have decrease in the diametrically opposite direction, and a national crisis threatening to spill over to international proportions begins to brew.

As more and more people become acquainted with it, the level of chaos just keeps on rising. This change was sparked with the publication of a mysterious book which provides people with the necessary instructions on how to behave during the coming event, sharing gems of wisdom such as urging people to use their smiles as bulletproof vests. We are presented with a wide number of narratives taking place in a world where a certain event is bound to change everything: the titular “Adjustment Day”. The story of this novel is, in a sense, rather vague to fully encompass in a brief summary. Recently, he published Adjustment Day, and if nothing else, it felt to me like a welcome return to his roots and the form we know him in. What I’m about to say is more a reflection of what I gather is general opinion rather than my own, but it seems to me Chuck Palahniuk had fallen out of favour with many of his long-time readers in recent years, at least when compared to his status two decades ago.
