In Persuasion Nation - George Saunders The first 4 stories in this book are delightfully, satirically funny! They are very clever commentary on our current American lifestyle. The very last story (commcomm) has some absolutely hilarious, laugh-out-loud lines poking fun at ultra-religious people and govt. bureaucrat-speak.The rest of the book (pages 73 through 195) is mostly a waste of time and just plain stupid. I read through them hoping to find more good ones, but they were terrible, especially "93990"!
