“Marx, Wood, Wei and Christ-all but Wei were sacrificed.”
I read that, I think because YOU recommended it, it was pretty good. And that Marx Wood Wei thing really sticks with you.
I also loved how the same pictures were everywhere, I can’t remember exactly now, but wasn’t there one of Wei (or whichever) addressing the scientists (or something like that)?
It was a good read, I enjoyed it!
Riders of the Purple wage is a good read-shows all the ridiculous nonsense of a welfare society.
The children’s rhyme of Christ, Marx, Wood and Wei is catchy and chilling.
I’m glad you enjoyed This Perfect Day-I enjoy reading about Chip’s awakening, and ultimate triumph every time I read the book and it always lifts my spirits-I read a long time ago that Levin based the story on the premise of a Soviet-Chinese communist-type society being in control-hence, the pre-decided occupations, controlled reproduction, same approved pictures, etc being everywhere, the same carefully designed museum exhibits, controlled public events and leisure travel, beehive housing, the same food, clothing. etc-the ultimate wet dream of the USSR of that time.
The pic of Wei addressing the scientists was in King’s office, among other places...
