Gregory LaPerche | Orconomics | The Best Fantasy Satire | Spoiler Free Review | J. Zachary Pike @gregorylaperche5574 | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 57 seconds ago.
What is up everyone! This is my Orconomics review by J Zachary Pike. I love this book. The humor is unparalleled by any book I've ever read, though I will admit, I've only read 1 Discworld book. That said, J. Zachary Pike's delivery and brutal sarcasm were what made this book so funny to me. Maybe that is because we are both New Englanders.
In addition to the humor itself being funny, the things being satirized are very interesting. There is a lot of mocking of basic fantasy tropes, and particularly quest fantasy tropes. More impressive is the unique worldbuilding which portrays a medieval fantasy world with a somewhat modern capitalist society rather than the usual feudalist society.
I'm reminded of the time when a bunch of journalists and stand up comedians were on Jeopardy, and many of the stand up comedians shockingly won. Pike is in the same league as the comedians who can knows history and jeopardy like trivia as well as everyone, while also clearly understanding societal structures more than the "experts." He shows his profound societal critiques all while making you laugh. Also, yes, I understand the hilarious irony of me mocking people for doing bad at Jeopardy lol
