Martin Amis captures a very specific era of excess and moral decay. I'm curious whether his own experiences or observations shaped this vivid setting.

The main character's reckless pursuit of wealth made me uneasy but also fascinated. How do others interpret his journey — is he a critique or a cautionary tale?

The irony and dark humor add layers to the story, but I wonder if that makes the critique more pointed or if it sometimes dilutes the seriousness of the issues.
