1.0
80% exposition 10% plot 10% author with mummy issues and bizarre, morally devoid sexual fantasies
a world where
- monogamy is frowned upon,
- masterbation is everyday,
Rumbling and hissing, eighty vibro-vacuum massage machines were simultaneously kneading and sucking the firm and sunburnt flesh of eighty superb female specimens.
- children play sex games,
- Everyone is addicted to emotion altering hallucinogens
- Child abuse is normal
- The is biological superiority compare to others
- Beating women is funny
- all women carry contraceptives everywhere, seemingly with no expectation of men to do the same.
Very little actually happens in this book. If you like 1984 by George Orwell you might like this, but probably not because 1984 actually has a plot.
