![]() ![]() Basically, it’s full of stereotypes and is sexist. Not only that but it just revels in stereotypes and that tech, hacking etc is a solely male domain. As I said on Twitter, it would be less sexist if there were no women in it. Almost every other woman is referenced as a prostitute (there was also lots of references to rape because of the war) or is a general bitch, as is Randy’s ex. None of the women needed to be in the book, other than as possibly for a male character to have sex with her. The other thing that annoyed me so badly was the fact that it is relentlessly sexist. Even if there was eventually some vague cryptographic point at the end of it, it just wasn’t fucking worth my time. ![]() At this point, I just began to resent and hate this book and the fact that it had no need to be as long and annoying as it was. This is because the next 7 or 8 pages are solely about Randy (one of the main characters) eating Cap’n Crunch. ![]() I think the point where I went from being merely frustrated and annoyed at the overly long, pointless and most often trite passages of this book came around page 484. ![]()
