van Voght writing style is fabulous - imho.
"The Age of the Pussyfoot" by Frederik Pohl (1971).
One thing I like from the previous editions on books is that them contains intros that has been wrote by those times, so that brings a glimpse or an idea in that context timeline. In there there was an aspect about how using satire has slightly changed, where previously it was meant while proposing solutions, to an use of it whitout any means into the next years.
Pohl was in his middle phase, between satire's writings to adventure's ones: not a pallid nonsense irony.

The first translated book (in Italy) is from 1996..
Bought it because it was depict as
the sequel from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", within a postface by Philip K. Dick.
Bought it despite the weirdness of the plot, and found it marvelous, can understand why it's rated as a masterpiece.
