“Misogynistic, pornographic pap. The thing is, I think, Ballard really wants us all to go, "Gosh look how clever you are, breaking down boundaries and shocking us with the links between sex and technology! What a genius!" but actually, he comes across as a bit of a sad sex-obsessed perv.”

“I don't see how this novel can be misogynistic when it treats all it's male characters the same as its female characters. It treats everyone as an object and its narrator doen't even mind being treated that way himself; which isn't healthy of course but an accusation of misogyny would only fit with the kind of most radically feminist "anti-sexuality" viewpoint that gives feminism a bad name.”
