Praise for this book

"Rhinehart's SF satire adeptly bounces back and forth between radically silly and serious, never going overboard in either direction, on its way to a potentially deadly but entertaining showdown between fun and tyranny." --Publisher's Weekly, on the English-language edition
"Rhinehart's exploration of the human condition and its myriad flaws through Louie's unique take on it is delightful, and fans of globe-hopping, madcap fun with a razor-sharp side dose of political and societal satire will gobble up this absurdist treat." --Booklist, on the English-language edition
