Hello Cult Members!

has anyone noticed how many simulacra there are in Chuck's novels?

all through invisible monsters, fight club and choke, there are all those references to 'copy of a copy of a copy', or 'we're all such products', or even ''bravery''s not the right word but it's the first word that comes to mind'.

does anyone have any idea why this is so?? has chuck ever mentioned it in interviews or something, i can't find anything on it.

yes, this is for a school thing.

thanks for any help!

Welcome to being American. :P  I think this is just a commentary on how just about everything in our lives is artificial and copied.  Check out Simulacra and Simulation for more info (if you haven't already).
