IF you can look past the poor storytelling and extreme grotesqueries and misogyny there are some interesting early cyberpunk elements at play here. Jeter depicts a depraved, broken down society populated by the mutilated, drug addled and destitute. The two main societal forces are the morally righteous "MFers", led by the devious TV evangelist John Mox, and those obsessed with more bodily delights who worship Dr. Adder, an artist-surgeon who mutilates and modifies the sexual organs of his patients to satisfy the most perverse of sexual fantasies. Plotting is weak, if not absent entirely, with things just happening at seeming random to propel the narrative forward. Written in 1972, though not published until 1984, I suspect this would only appeal to cyberpunk die-hards interested in the early origins of the genre.
