Did anyone else find this to be skeevy/pervy typical male nerd fantasy bullshit?

Too often Sci-Fi books go down this path as well, taking what could be an otherwise compelling story and turning it into ... this. (Daemon by Daniel Suarez is the first thing that comes to mind)

I should make it a point that frank discussions of sex and human sexuality don't bother me in the least, but drugged-up-sex-power-struggle-bullshit? Mer.



That part of it seems more lazily stereotypical than anything else, but yeah.

To some degree, yeah, but I think your self-loathing is showing.


I think your point has merit, but as his sexual behaviour formed part of the plot, it was necessary.


I think the point is that he was changed by his success, and then slapped in the face...
