Handlung spielt ca. 50 - 60 Jahre nach "Eine Handvoll Venus und ehrbare Kaufleute". Ein Lesen dieses Vorgängerbuches empfiehlt sich, ist aber nicht zwingend erforderlich. Die Werbemethoden wurden weiterentwickelt, um nicht zu sagen pervertiert. Nach den letzten werbefreien Zonen auf der Erde soll letztlich auch die Venus "bekehrt" werden. Lesenswert! ( )

sequel to The Space Merchants.Some 50-60 years in the future. Filled with casual sex[not graphic or anything] and the problems of commercialism. Ending was lame in my opinion. ( )

What a great book! Clear, concise, and oh-so-unsympathetic to the advertising culture of now! What's fiction about this besides the space travel? The thinly veiled sarcasm of the author's tone, the true-to-life travails of our main character as he hits his downfall, and the brilliant and biting cynicism all combine to make this a quickly readable book. Best read with prequel but not impossible to understand. ( )

Um excelente final, mas um pouco fastidioso até chegar lá. Os publicitários q façam uma cuidada introspecção sobre os exageros q por vezes cometem. A lei do quem sobrevive é o mais forte nesta selva urbana continua a ser cada vez mais uma realidade, especialmente em tempos de crise económica severa ( )

Good old Pohl satire and quite the cliff-hanger. Don't expect much on the personality of the characters - the plotting is the vehicle. ( )
