What We Think

The Bachman Books are about as non-woke as you can get: dark, gritty explorations of human nature with no identity box-checking or lecturing. If you’re tired of modern ideological trends in fiction, this collection is a blast from the past.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Bachman Books predate the era of forced representation or ideological meddling. The stories focus heavily on gritty realism, flawed characters, and psychological tension with little regard for modern identity politics. There's hardly any sense that characters exist to check social boxes rather than serve the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While these are bleak and often challenging stories, there's no axe to grind against traditional religion, family, or masculinity. The books focus on individuals under pressure rather than redefining cultural institutions. Some grim views of society, but not in service of woke ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s certainly no chorus of modern ideological messaging here, if anything, these stories are about alienation, struggle, and moral ambiguity. Alternative worldviews emerge through character conflict, rather than everyone agreeing on some present-day orthodoxy.
