Title: Liked the cover, hated the book
Review: Any story that needs heaps of footnotes to explain what's going on needs radical surgery. I can't help thinking Kerr included them in a specious attempt to lend his 'vision' of the future intellectual weight. If so, it fails. This is fiction, after all, and fiction has to work by persuading and involving readers in the story, not by bashing them over the head with didactic paragraphs of small print. It might all be justified if Kerr actually backed up his vision of the future. How did the world get into this awful state? And why should it turn out this way? His suggestions on these matters are unconvincing to say the least. All in all, neither intellectually stimulating nor much fun.
