Starts out striking a queasy imbalance between pushy singularity humour (the singularity is like Ayn Rand for smart people) and colourful but derivative ephemera, but then develops into something kind of great--an SF dreamwind that reminds me of a cross between Futurama and Final Fantasy. Kimiko is our hilariously ill-adjusted mastermind, her sidekicks are nuclear-powered twins and Tiny Carl Jung (a pioneer of Tiny Psychoanalysis), and this is inventive and funny and uses a brilliant palate show more of colours and shapes. I have a lot of time for the guy who invents "Advanced Dungeons & Discourse". Oh, and "You like the Sportland Sports? They did so many points last game!" And a version of A Farewell to Arms that's just about ... a dude without arms. This is fun. show less
