classic sci fi that let itself down somewhat
The story had the typical futuristic predictions that didn't quite come to pass, but were less cringe-worthy than instead giving it some novel charm and interest.
The ideas that were most dated rather were all the lecturing and point-making about about how free their sexual lives were or weren't, and how so very liberated they were or weren't. That got a bit bogged down with a few identity crises characters were having and all the wrong kind of drama that entailed.
It was probably quite a good premise, but I think the audio version made it more difficult to actually keep straight through the different time jumps and whatever parallel universe sub-plots may have been happening (I got really confused there with the audio version).
I would have liked the book more if I hadn't felt like a teen male had kept inserting the word 'nipple' just for the sake of it, and that some characters were so intensely unlikeable that they distracted from everything else.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
