Reviews

[Sen Foo]

感觉好像比白银时代好看一点？

[Leo]

十多年后重读王小波，这世界好像没有什么改变

[Citron Pineapple]

Sarcastic, sharp sense of humor, delicate literary hooliganism. well structured and with an interesting point of a futuristic world.

[lily-chan (李里長）]

較喜歡下篇-我自己。簡單直接。
兩個故事都是對極權社會現實的描諷。在M和F之間，上篇比較現實，M被主導。下篇超現實，M變做主導。雖然同樣都是在同一個框框內。
這個框框內只有基本的慾望和需要，直到在下篇最後一段作者得回所失的所有物件，透露了在這小說中對未來的（唯一）願望。
