Good Points

A horrible vision of today's standards - or lack of - gone mad.

Bad Points

A lack of depth in the technical, scientific and medical predictions, and no explanation of how much of the technical infrastructure and even provision of food had survived the flooding of low lying areas and the lack of temperate zones for agriculture.

General Comments

An amusing read but a ghastly preview of how the mores of today could become the culture of the future, (or lack of culture) The very thin line which already exists between sexual freedom and sexual aggression becoming even thinner and the absolute disappearance of courtesy and consideration give us a horribly credible look at the future.
