Heel goed in elkaar gezet verhaal van een distopische wereld. En extra bizar dat t al uit 1972 komt maar totaal niet zo aanvoelt (had prima in 2020 geschreven kunnen zijn)!

Started sat night, finished Sunday @ 12:20. Sigh. What is sleep, anyways? Writing style is rather hard to put down, even in the bad parts. Seriously, did he have to rape her? And then after she didn't like him for the entire book, she suddenly loved him and wanted a kid w/ him? that sounds fake but ok
On the other hand, when Chip casually walked away from the programmers and went and exploded Uni, I whooped out loud and glee. So. I'm glad he didn't give up all his convictions as I thought was happening.

C'est bien comme livre d,anticipation et je l'ai trouvé un peu plus positif que 1984 de George Orwell. Ça reste quand même dans la même veine. C'est un livre que je recommande à tous les amateurs de ce genre de science-fiction.

I absolutely loved this book. It' a "Brave New World" or "1984" blanketed in a suspense novel. I was completely invested in Chip's story and fascinated by the society. It's scary how prescient this novel is today. Ira Levin continues to blow me away.
