It makes me think of the rich assholes in Altered Carbon. They’ve lived so long in the most athletic and pristine “sleeves” that they’re essentially bored of life and their whims just get more and more unhinged, because they have zero moral checks and balances. It’s affluenza. Parasites in society that drag us all down with them.

Makes me think of 40k where the Eldars solved every problem in their society and then turned to debauchery so unhinged that they manifested a god of debauchery

I am still pissed that the third audiobook in the Trilogy was done so poorly that it is essentially unlistenable. Especially given how well the first two were done.
