Have you read any Graeber?

Industrial Society and Its Future

>Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society. It is well known that the rate of clinical depression had been greatly increasing in recent decades. We believe that this is due to disruption of the power process, as explained in paragraphs 59-76. But even if we are wrong, the increasing rate of depression is certainly the result of SOME conditions that exist in today's society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.

Sorry it's not a book but the movie 12 monkeys covers that topic pretty well.
It's based off of the short story La Jetée but I haven't read it.

When will people stop using anprim as an excuse to be lazy? You could argue anything other than foraging for food and having sex is unnatural yet it's done and now we see the fruits of these endeavors.

No it wasn’t. He could have done damage to millions of dollars worth of the elites’ property and caused way more strain on the system that killing 3 literal nobodies. He could have blown up factories and sabotaged lumber equipment and probably gone longer getting away with it too. Plus, he would have been a mainstream icon like che guevara or something but 10x bigger. But no, why not kill a dude because he owns a computer store instead.

Granted, he didn't achieve anything except jail, but it was never his intention to spread the manifesto to "the vast majority of the population".

its pretty hilarious that you can other people a pseud while you cite status quo philosophers and proto liberals. especially when you are a 30 year old dyke and also when you presume tha tjust because the other is discernably not incorrect that means his writing is worthwhile and it is prudent to agree with him.
