this is a interesting series. it is obviously drawing heavily from "brave new world" but still a worthwhile read. the art is sharp and the futuristic slang, while not as fun and imaginative as "a clockwork orange", is easily comprehended... and now that i think of it "brave new world" is my least favorite of the classic dystopian novels, so this might actually IMO be more enjoyable than its predecessor.
