A speculative sci-fi book from the past depicting the perversions of the corporate future dystopia of 2010. It’s just astounding how many things John Brunner actually got right.
Positive: | Negative: |
A fascinating, profound setting of corporate dystopia | Extremely confusing out of sequence storytelling full of digressions |
Interesting, profound characters | Personal stories of the characters pale in comparison to the depth of the world they are set in |
Thought-provoking on human nature and culture | |
Thought-provoking on white-guilt, corporate social system, and freedom of the soul |
