it was ok

This book sadly came off preachy and awkward, and seemed to be a bit of a manifesto cloaked as a novel. A pass for me. I'm not one for sex scenes in books anyway, but the ones in this novel seemed unnecessary, didn't add to the story, and were written completely awkward and cringy as hell. This may be my last Doctorow, although I've enjoyed some of his books in the past.

The plot was about the whole "post-scarcity economy" and what would happen in the future if we could 3D print all the things and we lived as this communistic society where we didn't use money as a currency, but everyone worked to contribute. This effort was far more preachy manifesto than dystopian future.

Carly OMG the awkward sex scenes bothered me a LOT...I was so grossed out when Iceweasel banged her kidnapper I wanted to throw the book out a window.
