Have to admit this author makes me feel like I'm a character in the original "Blade Runner" movie. The tone of his writing, the characters, the cold male-dominate narration, the way everything unfolds is so futuristic and yet so sad and lonely and just not anything I can get into being female. Yet I continue to try because it's a style and it's the best style, so I'm told by men who tell me it's the best style. This is the fifth book I've read of his and I've only been able to complete two or three. This one I couldn't finish, either. I read the title story and half of the rest. What is there to learn, to know, to understand, to relate to men who are basically spoiled brats? Is it a new epiphany that men without women are often lost? Are wanting connection they are incapable of figuring out how to get? Are worth reading about except for some schadenfreude way? If you like the cold, male-dominated, futuristic, harsh, steely world of Blade Runner, this is for you. Otherwise, I have to go find a Rebecca Solnit book to clear my head right now.
