Title: Lighthearted satire
Review: What appears ostensibly as a thinking man's satire of civilisation in the distamt future (in which humanity has evolved to the level of being able to occupy two planes in space at the same time) turns out to be a bland and forgettable combination of broad jokes and tepid puns. Though the satire is quite lighthearted (poking fun at such figures as Charles Dickens, the author of "Origin of Species" and Sigmund "Fraud") this is an inevitably forgettable novel, also let down by its pamphlet-size length.
