Atlas Shrugged.

Atlas Shrugged

The maintenance manual for your vehicle.

1984

Fahrenheit 451

I think no one has read Manufacturing Consent beyond the first chapter.

infinite jest

Infinite Jest is just a prop for most college dudebros to present themselves as smart and cool in an effort to get laid.

Nelson Mandela's autobiography, A Long Walk To Freedom. So many people want a copy to signal that they're cool and love the idea of the rainbow nation in South Africa, and that racism officially ended™ when Mandela wore a Springbok rugby jersey in 1995.

They don't realise that in his autobiography Mandela says that he takes inspiration from other left wing leaders like Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro, and rips into the ideology of people like F.W de Klerk. If they actually read it, they'd probably be shocked.

Gravity's rainbow

Probably meditations or some popular philosophy book.
