I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?

Also, I'm not sure if I ever actually saw the movie or just saw clips of the movie in parodies and what not, does the movie at all follow the insane beats of the book?

All I recall is the futuristic plastic world, none of the crazy stuff in the book, which is leading me to think that maybe I haven't actually seen the movie.

What from the book do you not remember? It has been years since I read it but the move is similar in spirit.

I mean almost none of the crazy stuff, none of the prison, the half man half machine ice demon, nor running through the thinkers brain, the devil sticks. If all that stuff is in there then I must have never seen the movie.

Wow! Now I want to see how the heck they incorporated all of that back in the '70s

I’ll have to recap the book. The half man is in the movie. The brain I don’t remember in the book.

If I remember correctly, they change the age in the movie as well.

30 instead of 21 if I remember right.

Movie was 30. So the book must be 21
