I did not really enjoy "I have no mouth and I must scream", but all the more "The Deathbird". It was such an eye-opener.

I liked I have no mouth and I must scream, do you recommend any of his other works?

>>4030444You mean the ticktock man? I also did not think it was that good, memorable yes, but great really not. "The Deathbird" was by far the best one.

I think ""Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman" is a great allegory, on how even one person can throw an authoritative system of balance, even if that person is eventually defeated.

>>4030467also if you liked the deathbird you should read "Mother Horse Eyes", its some online schizononsense but the first segment of it is incredible.

>>4030504I think Harlan wanted to make it a little bit more absurdist and light-hearted, since Huxeley wanted to convey a serious topic through a serious narrative, while Harlan did not.
