Interesting SciFi, Terrible misogyny
Let’s get this part out of the way. It’s an interesting concept and very much a product of its time, perhaps a few decades before it even.
While it’s well written on the conceptual side. The book itself is rife with female characters who exist solely to be part of the male protagonists fantasy. They have no agency or real interactions with each other, they’re simply hot fantastical girls who fight over the main male character.
The scifi elements are interesting the world of Proton in fascinating and that in of itself could have been a fantastic interesting world that less than subtlety critiques our world and it’s capitalistic excesses, a world where the lower class of workers are forced to live naked and own nothing; while “citizens” barely register their serfs existence beyond making them “voluntarily” work for them. It’s a dire dystopian concept and really could have been interesting on its own.
But then the introduction of the fantasy world, a more primal world with magic, stands in contrast to it. It’s an intriguing furtherance of the concept.
I’d give it a solid 4/5 if the book hadn’t been held back but the really, really weird writing of female characters. I mean, a short guy, who’s had to earn everything in life gets both the beautiful big boobed robot girl, the unicorn who is also a beautiful woman but also more beyond that. Seriously, to say it a a product of its time might be be an un understatement. It’s more like a product of the 1940s than the 80s. Interesting but very flawed to the point of feeling a little uncomfortable. Hope the series gets better.

Not great.
The main character objectifys and overly sexualizes women which only purpose is to describe how sexy a woman in detail rather than some character flaw to be played on.
Worse the main female characters all are very shallow and seem to play into that male fantasy.
People have gone into more detail reviews on Goodreads.
While this is a issue with other Piers Antony novels here it's more in your face and part of the world here.
Now the concepts of the two worlds and how they work are interesting but his other books deal with more interesting concepts without having to take a back seat to really bad male fantasy elements.
Yes it's a product of it's time and if you enjoy that kind of popcorn trash, you might enjoy this book but overall there are better books out there.
