If a satire breeds misconceptions, it's an effective satire. The more misconceptions, the more powerful the messages within the satire. Satire can be witty and wise, so it would behoove the reader to drop all their judgmental baggage and other distortions at the cover before entering the pages of satire.

How does The Beasts of Success help the situation? One must peel back the carpet to reveal the accumulated dirt and filth hidden under the carpet. Only then can we know it's there and deal with it by sweeping it away, cleaning and renewing our house, our world. But it won't be simple, as disturbed dirt will fly into the air for a period of time while it's being swept away, which makes the house appear dirtier than before, but it's only temporary and is necessary in order to truly clean the house and rid it of the hidden dirt that had been lurking about for so long. Unlike 1984, The Beasts of Success is riddled with humorous satire so the reader can enjoy such dark material instead of feeling like they've been punched in the gut repeatedly. It's a dark novel with shady characters because darkness is what needs to be revealed on this planet. There is no way to reveal this planet's truths without exposing darkness. Dark humor in the form of satire is the best medicine to be used to make such exposed darkness digestible, and even highly enjoyable to those who have a wide range of humor. Humor will keep your spirits up when you're faced with difficult and/or ugly matters in life. Humor is very therapeutic.
Most of The Beasts of Success takes place in the characters' lives outside of their jobs. Don't be mistaken, this is not a book about office politics or working at an office.
The three main characters in The Beasts of Success are fictional and their acts are fictional, but everything else in the book is nonfiction, especially Ken Karver's monologues. This is why I call my fiction books Truth in Fiction. The fictional structure drives the story forward and makes it entertaining and engaging, and the nonfictional information reveals, exposes, and enlightens.
