I'm not just saying this because I'm on this site (although this site is what led me to read her works), that is the most unbelievable book I have ever read in my life. It was so far past amazing to me that there are no words for it. Honest to God.
I wish they had made the movie a long time ago. It would seem anachronistic now, a movie about the "future" where the hero has to stop an get a "long distance operator" on a pay phone to call someone.
