Riders Of The Purple Wage by Philip José Farmer
In a gleefully surreal future where every citizen receives a guaranteed stipend called the purple wage, a complacent, pleasure-immersed society has grown decadent, bureaucratic, and artistically stagnant; the story follows a young man whose personal ties and inheritance pull him into a web of corporate scheming, political manipulation, sexual experimentation, and rebellion. Equal parts satire and speculative farce, the narrative skewers consumer culture, state paternalism, and the commodification of art while employing playful, experimental language and nonlinear episodes.
