| This is my brain on Lovett |
Che Guevara doesn't have a cameo in this book, except for reference to a poster, but he could have had one. Lovett is a revolutionary masquerading as a satirist or a satirist masquerading as a revolutionary, I frankly am not sure which. Regardless of his motivation, this book made me ponder many things. The least of which was neural enhancement, although that was captivating, the addressing of social inequities was virulent, passionate and sadly realistic as it claimed the right of primogeniture. The book claims to be social commentary but I would be more specific and say I felt it was satirically critical.
The main protagonist, Robert Carr, reluctantly accepts
neural enhancement in able to be competitive in a increasingly dystrophic
society. His enhancement comes with a
surprising bonus. His bonus leads him to
be targeted and to evolve as a person.
Nothing is sacred, including or perhaps pointedly the
sacred. Pontification on greed,
religion, the industrial revolution, mechanization, the impact of technology
and far more provides a surprisingly captivating book. Proselytization running amuck or merely
driving home a point with the finesse of a sixteen pound sledge characterizes
the book.
I loved the book, Lovett succeeded admirably in initiating
critical thought while remaining entertaining, Kudos on a great job!

Neither his blog or website was active. Since I first wrote this Mr. Carr let me know he is aware he has a problem with his website and blog and is working on it. I was pleased that he actually read my review and he liked it.! Nice to be appreciated. :-)
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
