“Rant is a macabre, future-modern-day horror story about rabies, car wrecks and rubbernecks, time travel, dual personality disorder, incest, greed, and an insatiable need to create meaning. Elements of Fight Club linger in different guises, but exist for the same reason - to create order out of seeming chaos, peace out of violence, and reason out of insanity. With this book, Palahniuk belongs somewhere between Joseph Heller, Stephen King, and William Gibson, but it’s a style distinctly his own. I imagine the movie will be out in five to ten years.”
