I was there, I lived it all. Except for Journey. That should be erased from history. Where's your synthesiser, where's your drum machine? Devo would have been a better representation of that era, but they weren't as commercial and processed. That aside, it's an engaging story, very good fun SF. My instinct from the start was that it was pulpy and shallow, and thinking further about it reinforces that first impression, but I enjoyed it on its own terms..
