I wonder if they used an LLM to generate this
I highly doubt it. The satire is very textually rich and you can tell they've put a lot of thought in - stuff like him throwing "publishers" onto the list of ruling class members in the excerpt I posted.
The plot line of the book was totally abandoned on the middle of the season without any conclusion. Why they even added it? To fill space on the begging of the season?
I think it only existed to show how detached and malleable the innies are. Outside people easily see the book as pretentious gibberish. Innies see it as the most profound words they've ever read.
I'm talking about the rewrite of the book by the writer guy and the Corp lady. The last scene of the plot line was him and his wife fighting because she couldn't believe he was selling off to Lumon, but after that the book was never mentioned again.

I think the book's purpose was to wake up the innies and give them the drive to find their "true selves" and rebel.
The part about him selling off to Lumon was to show 1) Lumon was working behind the scenes on damage control to ensure nothing like them breaking out ever happens again 2) show that the wise theorists behind inspiring works are also humans who can easily be corrupted against their stated values.
It did seem like they could have extended that subplot a bit by how they were setting it up but it also served its purposes
I thought you were talking about the first season and was about to write a very civil reply, but yeah I was really disappointed in how they dropped it in the second (as well as Ricken's character, one of my favourites).
That shit was so funny in the show, stood out as laugh out loud moments for me when the innie characters are reading this and finding it moving and profound and subversive because they have nothing to compare it to.
