The first rule of Fight Club is that no one talks about fight club, but here i'm gonna have to flout that. First time trying out the medium of Audiobooks and i figured why not start with a story i already knew? 
 (view spoiler)[Knowing that Tyler is figment of X's imagination from the moment i started reading already gave me all sorts of insights into what Pahlahniuk was doing. Tyler is X's 'little act of rebellion in the darkness' a result of a long simmering dissatisfaction with the consumerist/capitalist/materialist world order. Tyler has been fermenting like so much water pressure building up in X's pipes, and now has burst forth like an exploding shower head. (hide spoiler)] 
 As this rebellion slowly organizes itself from a state of mind to a terrorist organization known as Project Mayhem (the first rule about project Mayhem is that you don't ask questions) Tyler and X catapult toward an imaginary state of 'rock bottom'. because it is only after you hit rock bottom apparently, that you can come up again. 
 So as Project Mayhem comes to a head. And Tyler Durden's mission of destruction, both of the self and of the consumerist world order is moments away from being complete. I realized that Pahlahniuk might have written something more than just a clever book with edgy and well turned out prose. This might well be a frontrunner to be the '1984' of our generation. There i said it. 
 Fight Club is mainly about the ordinary first worlder's depression. Fight club is the rebellion that the #Occupy movement never was. Or never had the balls to become, by all means a good thing if you ask me. 
 Here's a quote from the film that appropriately sums up the sentiment. 
 "Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables - slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
