Down and Out in the Magic KingdomWelcome to Bitchun society, where all today's commonplace problems have been solved: even death is a minor inconvenience, since one can make regular backups. Our hero has gone to Disneyland--his habit at times of major personal crisis--where he works for the ad-hocracy that runs the Haunted Mansion and the Hall of Presidents. It is a great honor to be working on the pinnacle of late-twentieth-century cultural and artistic achievement--Disneyland, that would be--and it inspires great loyalty. Finished in 19 days |
Review
A very interesting basic idea, but so what? Some of the reviews make this sound like a great book. Great books are suppose to be about great things, big ideas, grand topics. This is about taking a bunch of bored immortals fighting over who gets to run an amusement ride.
I was looking for a lot more here. Nothing specific, it is well written and it has some interesting ideas, but it's still a trivial topic.
