      Pynchon does this in his works a lot. *Lolita* is also a heavy critique of Western culture, though obvious content warning. Vonnegut maybe, though his stuff is a bit broader than just Western culture itself, I’d say.

      Lighter, more specific content might be *Bunny* by Mona Awad, which is more about academia and a specific sort of Western subculture.

      Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams – a classic series for a reason

      Earthlings by Sayaka Murata – only for those with strong stomachs. Focused on Japanese culture, but many of the critiques apply broadly.

      Radicalized by Cory Doctorow – short stories, several of which fit your requirements

    3. Irene Handl’s the Souix absolutely skewers the rich gentry of the American south. Please, please read it.

      A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn will blow your hair back.
