I'm glad a friend had given me fair warning of what this book would entail, and who Harlan Ellison was as a person. Eerie AM/AI parallels but from the suspicions of another time, with all the sexism of that time. Uncomfortable throughout, but a fun thought experiment I guess?
Graphic: Misogyny, Sexism, and Sexual violence
Moderate: Death and Torture
