It's simply insane. It's barely linear, barely sticks to the plot, which is a robot-run world is being invaded by alien robots and must fight them off with the help of human, Henry. Whose mother is made into a robot, with his permission. Coin operated sex with robots is one of the more normal things in this book. There are talking protoplasms, a general with turtle flappers for arms, a colonel who's a lobster (who is subsequently eaten), a robot best friend named Hugo, an old man wearing a red bra and panties and surrounded by teddy bears found in a looney bin, armed Amish, underground freeways, the nuclear deterrent between the US and the Soviets (this was first published in 1969), a world now run by the Economy rather than the military, wizards, talking roaches, references to Crane and Carrol and Dante, etc., a scene from hell, and more. It's nuts. Somehow a story emerges and somehow a story is told, but it's the telling that's entertaining, not the storyline itself. I'd give it a five on originality and about a two on actual writing, as it appears to have been written by a college English major undergrad. So three stars it is. If you want something crazy and witty and entertaining, it's recommended. If you want serious sci fi, avoid it like the plague. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The economy is the new cold war battlefield, robots and androids do the work, and the Interstellar Sprocket Conspiracy intends to oil its gears with the flesh of humanity. Cadet Sergeant Henry Fleming enlists in the economy to save America, is joined by a hydraulic-aholic robot, an army of mutants, a wizard who can't keep on his skin, and the luscious mechanical love of Henry's life, Anne Droid. The one chance for humanity is subterranean race across the nuked-out heartland of America to find a forgotten power that can save the world--or destroy it.
