I liked this a lot, but would have a hard time recommending it to anyone who isn't interested in the history of sci-fi. Its influence on the genre is obvious, but this book has a lot of problems. I definitely understand why people accuse this book of endorsing fascism - whatever Heinlein's excuses are, this order of things is definitely presented as correct. The book also wears its masculinity on its sleeve - for good and for ill. Worth a read if only because so much military sci-fi in the years since are responding to this or influenced by it.

The interview with Watterson alone makes this a must-read. I've adored Calvin and Hobbes since I was very, very young. It was great to revisit it.

I liked this a lot. Sinclair weaves a lot of historical events together in this book - it's not just a satire of the oil industry, it's looking at the birth and growth of global capitalism and corruption. There's some wonkiness surrounding gender and race in this but not at a level that's exceptional for the time period. A valuable read for any anti-capitalist in my opinion.

A very unique concept sorely in need of an updated version.

the art in this is fantastic. looking forward to reading more Godzilla comics!

any author that uses the word "pediphile" to describe a foot fetishist should be shoved in a locker.
