Negative Positive
Title: philosophical twaddle
Review: Descriptions are well done. Content is largely an Introduction to Past and Future Religions course. As one might expect of such a long wearysome exploration of cults and philosophies, little in the way of a conclusion is reached. The scifi veneer could easily be dispensed with without affecting the book. The city is mostly formless except as a setting for the various belief systems. The plot ends before any big issues are settled except for the continuing inner journey of our hero. Our hero has more concern for the suffering of a tortured snow worm on an oiled hot plate than he does for the growing evil influence of his 'friend'. Dispite a couple of qualities held up as noble, I'd call him moraly confused. Sex is just one more 'religion' to experiment with. Oh the folly of using words to admire beauty while leaving you with a gnawing emptyness inside.
