Jim Fulner reviewed Jennifer Government by Max Barry
5 stars
This book was excellent for what it is. returnreturnIt is a novel of a "dystopian" future, almost a Communist Atlas Shrugged, where the government is so small people cannot tell which one of these guys is the US Government President. returnreturnIn many ways this "dystopia" really is a libertarian paradise. Some things are a little unbelievable, like everyone having to take the last name not of their family, but of the corporation they work for, and IBM being the leader in home computers by out rewards pointing Apple, and evidentially the only religion that still exists in the LDS church, but all in all its a good laugh more than anything else. returnreturnIn the end, however, it may be a sign that we should have listened to the Anarchists...returnreturnHighly recommended whether you agree with the socialist author, that capitalism will ruin the world if left to continue as it has, or you agree with me, that government will ruin the world if the market isn't allowed to work, or you happen to agree with most of the world that says we're screwed anyway.
