" Absurdist fiction uses satire, dark humor, irrationality, and agnostic or nihilistic themes to explore the human experience of incompleteness or meaninglessness. It also looks at the range of human responses to meaninglessness, including escapism, religiosity, and the conscious construction of a personal purpose.
In philosophy, absurdism is a form existentialism that views the human search for inherent meaning in the world as absurd. The absurdist view is that such a search must ultimately fail because the world is beyond our understanding."
