A void that nothing can fill, polluted with countless lies poured out through television channels... The Prophet of the Spectacle is a dark story about the frightening madness of the modern world at the beginning of a new millennium. grinding; A sharp-tongued insult to the media, celebrity and pop culture... Tender Branson is one of the thousands of missionaries born and raised in the Creedish sect's fake paradise, isolated from the world, and sent to the outside world. According to church doctrine, his duty is to work as long as he lives and to die when necessary. His fate changes unexpectedly and takes him to the heights of fame, while also introducing him to the inside of media and popular culture. What he experiences on the way to becoming a demigod turns into a striking harbinger of the apocalypse we will soon face... Branson will try to destroy the life that was never given to him in the sect by being completely buried in the ugliness of the "outside world". However, according to the mysterious Fertility Hollis who interferes in his life, trying to carve out a destiny for himself is pointless. What will happen is already clear and it has to happen... And "the only difference between committing suicide and being a martyr is being a headline in the newspaper." Chuck Palahniuk shows us the sick and meaningless lifestyle of the consumer society in all its nakedness through the eyes of his hero who is dragged at a breathtaking speed towards his inevitable destiny.
