Review of 'Jennifer Government' on 'Goodreads'

On my re-read of this turbo-capitalist dystopia, I no longer find it as poignant as I did the first time around. It's still a great book with an interesting world, in which government has to compete in the marketplace of rampant consumerism, but I wish there was more exploration into the history of this world, and how it ended up this way.
