It is a form of social commentary that highlights the flaws and absurdities of society, politics, and culture. Satirical books often employ sarcasm, wit, and parody to challenge the status quo and provoke thought in readers. Satire has been used throughout history as a powerful tool for social and political critique and can be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
