I finished this in 24 hours and it was a ridiculously amazing and verbose read. people always namecheck the dude for obvious reasons but his thought processes were definitely on some other shit. I feel like his world was based on a bad speed trip after reading Brave New World or 1984 or some other dystopian world book of the time (if there were any others) and period.
I also think that it’s pretty wild that these dudes future couldn’t go past the 20th century. none of them.
