Pearlman (The Final Dream & Other Fictions) goes for the satirical jugular in this often hilarious if ultimately wearying Swiftian exercise, full of Joycean wordplay. In the authors unrelenting cyberpunk dystopia, Memini and two other large corporations or "conglobulates," Mishugi and Occipet, control a world divided into two groups: brain-damaged "tekkies" and grumbling but mentally sound "oldfolks." Meminis in trouble because its president is convinced that hes a high school student confounded by a hostile board of education. Readers should be prepared for a whirlwind ride with no pause for breathe. Fans of more conventional SF may be put off by the explicit sex and the absence of sympathetic characters.
