From the back cover:
From Indiana to a dangerous no MAN'S land
Journeyman carpenter, Owen Hall -- killed in 1943 during an unfortunate accident at a railroad crossing -- finds himself resurrected thousands of years later in a world dominated by women. The men are all automatons, without free will or conscience.
In just 24 hours, Owen wreaks havoc on this disciplined female civilization, turning it topsy-turvy by refusing to obey orders. But as his madcap adventures threaten to destroy their ordered world, the women realize that Owen's independence must be corrected...
Suddenly Owen must use all his cunning and guile against a horde of determined female warriors if he is to stay alive ... with a mind of his own!

This is kind of a "fish out of water" story. A man from 1940s Indiana "wakes" up in the future and is rather confused. He has to figure things out quickly in order to survive. Needless to say, he causes rather a lot of havoc.
The world building is incredible. The city the author has built is like nothing I have ever seen before. The characters are just too good to ignore, and one is on their side almost instantly.
It is a lot of fun but is overwritten enough to speed read lightly in places. I also lost track of the author's "map" of the future city several times. But I just kept reading and it worked out fine. I don't think the losing track was my fault.
Recommended.
