Seventies Sci-Fi,
By
This review is from: Crystal Phoenix (Paperback)
The future we were presented back in the late Seventies and early Eighties looked like, well, rather like a decadent version of the suburbs. Lots of money, lots of technology to make us lazy and lots of overly relaxed morality. _Crystal Phoenix_ is the perfect example of that "future". In a world where anyone can clone themselves and have their memories stransfered to the new body, for a price, drug addiction and prostitution runs rampant. It's a violent vision of the future, to be sure, and almost a kind of morality play slightly disguised as a murder and revenge story. It's clever for what it was, but it's not the best example of science-fiction from that era.I picked it up as a kid from the paperback rack of a drugstore. At the time, I was quite titilated by all the sex and violence, but in retrospect, that was just a cover for a weak plot and a tired idea.
