Summary: The "sequel" (sort of) to my favorite Rimmer...
Review: ...ends up being my least favorite of his books. Christina North is a porn queen who oddly enough wrote the book her movie was based on. The last meaningful love relationship she had was with a college sweetheart who was the son of a Louisiana televangelist--since then it's been a case of that old country song; "Lookin' for love in all the wrong places". She marries a rich guy and the marriage is unfulfilling. So she tries an alternative to suicide--suspended animation for 15 years. The "new era" she wakes up in isn't really much better--there's a sharp devision between the "lecks" (intellectuals) and the "iks" (mean-spirited non or anti intellectuals some of whom are rich and some poor) . It reminds me of H.G Wells' Eloi and Morlocks from "The Time Machine" in the way it's this us-and-them scenario with neither group really admitting the other are really "people", as such. On reflection, my reaction was the same as with the Wells book--"If that's the future, you can have my share of it and welcome to it".
