What are some obscure, mind-blowing crazy works of literature?

I need to create a post-ideological reading list.

I understand that it's related to Zizek, but does it just not refer to anything?

>> No.6317820

>>6317810
With relation to Zizek 'post-ideology' is a misguided and incoherent concept.

As far as OP's usage it's also meaningless.

Could you define obscure in the internet age, please? Just because you can connect to someone who has read the particular work does not mean it is widely known.

It changed my mind for good bro. The best thing in the world is recommending it as the definitive tome on conspiracy theories to conspiracy nut-know-it-alls (not a single one has read it, and they never will)
