    About the book: 2024 / "This book gets to the core. There is nothing mindlessly sweet here. I liked it. I loved her. The censor, after reading the novel, will go into hysterics, but we will survive.” – Philip K. Dick Los Angeles is divided into Rat City, where the outcasts live and the Liberation Front is entrenched, and Orange County, where the corporations and the well-fed bourgeoisie, addicted to television, live. Between them lies the Interface, a neutral zone where Dr. Adder's girls roam, whom he surgically modifies in accordance with the secret desires of his clients.E. Allen Limmitt leaves his ranch to experience a great adventure in the City of Angels. As he sets out to meet a famous surgeon, little does he know that he will soon find himself caught in the crossfire between the doctor and his nemesis John Mox, a televangelist and head of the Video Church of Moral Powers in a city whose soul is as rotten as it is desperate... A Book Praised by Philip K. Dicom, who unsuccessfully tried to publish it, saw the light only after the death of the Master and immediately became a classic. Written more than 10 years before William Gibson's Neuromancer, the novel heralded the cyberpunk wave that would change science fiction forever. So many years after its publication, “Doctor Adder” has not lost any of its brutality, rage, or relevance. “The author makes you sympathize with Adder by pitting him against someone even more vile - an immortal representative of the moral majority.” – David Langford “Time remains short for those who are still watching its passage. Time says: hurry up, move, stop disgracing your father, no matter where his face looks at you, from the heights of heaven, a helicopter cabin or an iconostasis in an underground cathedral. After all, in fact, cyberpunk should have begun, perhaps, back in 1972, when Kevin Wayne Jeter handed over the manuscript of “Doctor Adder” to Philip K. through Willis McNally. - FixedGrin, Science Fiction Lab "If you look beyond the grit and ultra-violence, you'll enjoy a fun ride that stands the test of time." – scurrilous rag “The author creates a dystopian future world that is far more hopeless than even the darkest imagination can imagine, but he does it in such a way that it looks very attractive.” – AmazonContains strong language
