Billy and the Cloneasaurus

Product Information

These Williams all share the same physical features (middle aged, balding, a little bit of a gut, and not very fit), and the same personality (rule-followers, prefer routine and predictability, and compliant). It shows you the alien way of this future’s culture and sets the foundation for the aberrations to follow. Anyhow, this book isn't really about a group sex with myself, it's more about less upsetting things, like loosing your personality forever, becoming a meaningless entity in an empty world, that"s only purpose is to make a few dollars, and the only reason it doesn't smash you and throw you out in the end like a used coke can is because you will do even this favour for the system and jump into a grinder machine willingly. The titular character, officially known as William-790, is an office drone whose sole purpose in life is to be a good little worker .

As if the new Spinosaurus wasn’t enough the island’s biggest threat remains to be the Velociraptors, to Dr.Employees are often worked to extreme levels—suffering stress, sleep deprivation, family separation, etc. It tells the story of Will, a William clone in a world made exclusively of William clones (a real nightmare for anyone like me, who happens to have a brother named Bill). I highly recommend this novel to anyone who believes we as a whole can be so much more than we currently are. When I first read what this book is about, I tought: oh no, this story will be too upsetting, because I can't imagine a world, where I must live with 6 billion identical clones of myself in the same planet, I mean what happens, when someone comes to me and tells "go fuck yourself, boy"—it would surely take decades, to complete the task, not to mention, I'm a gentleman, and so am I, so I would invite myself for a romantic dinner before the sexual intercouse, imagine the restaurant bills.

I was completely sucked into the story and 790’s plight, but similar to those classic books referenced earlier in my review, I am sad to say there isn’t a happy ending.Because that’s the scariest part this story in particular asks, what if we all just become unquestioning cattle?

One mishap and the William recycling machine is shut down and William 790-6 discovers the impossible, life after your expiration date, only to realize that there is more to “living” than being in a boring society where repetition is the norm. To be honest, I read the title, prior to the synopsis and was totally clueless as to what I was getting into. If you love anything about cloning, the theoretical future of our society, how the world could be – then read this book. The kind of story where tension is built because you hope for different things to happen for some of the characters but know, in the end, it was impossible for things to play out any other way than how they have.In fact, it is his final hour as he waits in line at the whirling fans of death (the humor is a bit dark at times).

However the story was structured such that those at the top of the organization were raking in the profit and all the other clones were content to just work and spend their money. It reminds me of 1984 or Fahrenheit 451, but it is supposed to – the novels are even referenced in the story.
