I hesitate to recommend it since like many Brits he takes the gag way too far before Renee finds some real humans about 70% through the book but it's a take on Maggie Thatcher's famous quote 'There is no such thing as society'. It dovetails nicely with another book I'm reading, Spengler's 'Prussianism and Socialism'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussianism_and_Socialism Spengler characterizes Britain as a culture based on piracy, every man for himself and screw the hindmost. He also feels that both Engels and Marx were formed by British capitalism where wealth acquisition is everything where Prussian socialism is based on service to the state. The book was written before Thatcher was born but he nailed her to a tee.
