A review by 8one6
Jennifer Government by Max Barry
3.0
a darkly humorous dystopic cyberpunk novel where the libertarians won. Mega-corporations own and operate everything, the schools, the police, the roads, everything. The corps are so all-controlling that people change their last name to fit corporate branding (like the title character Jennifer Government) and the government has been so gutted that it can’t investigate a crime without a victim fronting the cash for a budget.
With this nightmare of a universe as the backdrop Max Berry presents an exciting tale full of action, politics, and humor. This was the first cyberpunk book I ever read and I think it’s a solid recommend in that category at three stars out of five.
