Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas1971

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a wild, satirical takedown rather than a woke sermon. It subverts tradition via irreverence and chaos, not identity politics. If only more modern books had this much unruly independence.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The novel’s wild narrative is ruled by excess and chaos, not by fashionable ideology. Character traits are about personality, not identity politics. The focus is squarely on the twisted journey rather than shoehorning in social messages.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The book lampoons American society’s values from a countercultural perspective, poking fun at authority, tradition, and the American Dream. It doesn’t lecture how to think, but is irreverent toward traditional foundations, mostly in a satirical, rather than ideological, way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s skepticism of authority and institutions, but the book doesn’t enforce modern monoculture or parrot current ideological lines. It’s more about disillusionment with all sides than pushing a singular modern worldview.
