Another comic inferno from another stupid timeline

Back in November, in episode 176, I took a look at The Reproductive System, the first novel by the US writer John Sladek, who produced almost all of his work while living in the UK. This episode tackles his second novel, the even more anarchic The Müller-Fokker Effect, published in 1970. It was not successful, and Sladek did not publish another SF novel for a decade.

However, The Müller-Fokker Effect is one of those novels from decades past which captures something of the vibe of today's times. Welcome to a wild ride featuring a tradwife proto-influencer, a semi-literate racist demogogue with an eye on the US presidency, and a mind without a body.
