One of them is ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’ by Tom Wolfe. (DO NOT, IN ANY WAY, judge the book by the film. The film is a travesty!). Although it was written in the mid-1980s, it was extremely prescient and its themes are still all too relevant today. It’s satire done in the finest form. Tom Wolfe was one of the best writers in the last hundred years, in my humble opinion. I bow before his sarcastic greatness.
