Summary
Luke Rhinehart's 1971 cult novel about Luke Rhinehart, a bored New York psychiatrist who begins making every life decision — from what to wear to whether to seduce his best friend's wife — by rolling dice. What starts as a therapeutic experiment in radical spontaneity spirals into a subversive dismantling of his career, marriage, and sanity as he surrenders more and more of his life to chance. A philosophical novel disguised as a provocation, it questions the value of willpower, the illusion of control, and whether a life lived without choice is liberation or madness.
