Best science fiction I've read in years!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is science fiction at its best! It is as if Thomas Pynchon and Philip K. Dick got together...no, it is better than that!! How come nobody knows about this??? This should be considered a classic! I thought Kandel's book, "Panda Ray" was great, but I am more excited about this book than any I can remember. Imagine a world where the garbage strike is more worrisome than the Russian invasion; where lawns come to life and devour people; where, when you die, you can still die again, going to different levels of death; a world where spacey doped up kids, really are "spacey," using the drugs supplied by Captain Jack Zodiac to travel the universe; a world where daughters get emmeshed in window shopping so that they turn into "mall zombies." A world where, like in P. K. Dick's books, suddenly you know that you just aren't in Kansas anymore. All this, with the added extra of an extremely witty and charming style. But enough! I don't want to give it all away. Read this book! Get it any way you can! Get it back in print!
