Review by: Haywood Stubble on April 11, 2011 :
A very entertaining read on the world of advertising in the future. I found this story to have parallels to the current state of our culture. The world of advertising effects our everyday life's already, this story predicts what our futures might hold. I'd recommend this book to anyone how likes futuristic predictions and satires of our current way of life. 5 stars! PMM

Review by: Haywood Stubble on April 11, 2011 :
A wonderful and insightful story about the current state of media in our world. A story that purports a future where advertising has penetrated every aspect of our lives and the repercussions resulting from this penetration are dire albeit humorous. The author does an excellent job of painting a vivid, humorous, and ultimately sad story about the state of our world now and in the future. This is a wonderful story which I have shared with many of my family members now. It is funny, sad, and perhaps unfortunately, based on truth. The story itself is rife with symbolism and is the perfect story for symbolic analysis. I intend to assign it to my students next semester as a small project. I highly recommend this story. A+
