The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart
The Novel That Inspired a Cult
The book revolves around a psychiatrist who becomes disillusioned with his life and the conventions of society. In a quest for true freedom and randomness, he begins making decisions based on the roll of a die, leading to a series of increasingly unconventional and risky adventures. His new philosophy challenges traditional morality and the very notion of identity, as he allows chance to dictate his actions, resulting in a provocative exploration of free will, chance, and the nature of human existence.
