3.0 out of 5 stars Are you glowing at me?, October 19, 2004
This review is from: The primal urge (Paperback)
This book was written over 40 years ago and that is the context I tried to put it in. You see, I was not born in that era. I can see from the story that the peace and love revolution had not hit too strong yet. The Beatles had yet to revel in their full power.
This was the first time I read some of Mr. Aldiss work and I found his writting style peculiar. I did not understand all the British jokes but the sense of humor in this story is undeniable.
What would happen if everyone in a prudish society was fitted with metal disc, on their forehead, that revealed their sexual feelings toward another by glowing red? I am still wondering. Anyway, Brian Aldiss has discussed the implications profoundly from different point of views in this book and that is all I wanted. Also, the story, which is not all that dramatic, was sufficient to keep me reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Power of technology, related to emotions, July 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The primal urge (Paperback)
What happens in a modern society if a light attached to your forehead indicates when you are in love with somebody else? An original idea for a funny novel. Unfortunately the book is a little bit to long, with many unnedeed secondary stories. Suggested to people who still believe UK is a great world empire!
