	Jennifer Government - Max Barry
		Barry means to make fun, of course, but he rarely manages to be funny, especially with the violence.
		Barry does have some decent ideas, but he doesn't have the patience to flesh them out.
		Like Barry's earlier book, Syrup (see our review), it is barely a book at all, but Syrup at least had a bit more charm to it.

	The Easel :: Magazine of the Arts: Max Barry, "Jennifer Government" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Max Barry’s satirical picture of the future taxation has been abolished, employees take the surname of the company they work for, and the entire western hemisphere along with Australia, Great Britain, and more has become part of America.
		Barry is full of witty ideas, he is a writer with a lot of potential.
		Unfortunately, the dialogue is slow and uninspired, and he sacrifices character development for the sake of a quick moving plot that bounces from character to character and country to country.

	Jennifer Government by Max Barry - an infinity plus review
		Jennifer Government, the eponymous hero of Max Barry's satirical thriller, is on to him, but to capture him she'll have to fight her way through a tangled plot that involves the NRA, consumer savings programs, and a corporate war.
		Barry's book is timely and provocative, well written and fast paced, funny and engaged, but never didactic.
		Barry sets up these spectacular fireworks, but then lets the whole thing fizzle out, sadly undermining the bite of his subversive tale.

	the pathetic caverns - books by author - Max Barry
		It's set in a world where people's surnames are those of their employers and where the police charge money to solve crimes (and contract work out to the National Rifle Association).
		But Barry doesn't define for the reader the rules under which his brave new world operates (or even make them consistent).
		Barry also doesn't seem quite sure how best to exploit his hypercapitalist setting.

		Max Barry's Jennifer Government is set in a frightening version of the near future.
		Those brief encounters made me wish that Barry had given the same kind of depth to each one of his characters, most of whom were nothing more than pawns in a corporate world.
		Max Barry's message about the corruption of large corporations and the danger of unheeded consumerism comes through loud and clear.

	Amazon.com: Books: Jennifer Government (Vintage Contemporaries) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Barry tosses off his anticorporate zingers with relish; his sendup of "capitalizm"-a world where fraud is endemic and nearly everyone (except the French) is a cog in vast wealth-creation machines-has some ingenious touches.
		Max Barry's second novel, JENNIFER GOVERNMENT, is a wild ride through the near future, when American consumerism and culture have consolidated much of the world under a single government.
		To reveal more of what happens would be to ruin Max Barry's rambunctious plot, which bends and folds and ties itself in knots as the action heats up, involving the CEO's of other American corporations, the NRA, a disillusioned stockbroker, and a computer hacker named Violet ExxonMobil.

		I think that is the point Max is making, If people can't rely on revenue from creative works their grandfather made 150 years ago then maybe there would be more incentive to create things now.
		I call this the "George Lucas law on copyrights." Meaning when an artists wants to re-imagine/re-work his vision in a way that is almost completely crapified when compared to their original source material, they won't be allowed to do so until thirty years after they die.
		That fable of the baby competition Max posted, with the 'open' copyright, if I understood, I could legally reprint and SELL that story as long as I kept it intact and included the credit due.

	the pathetic caverns - books by author - Max Barry
		Barry is daring enough to use the names of real entities in his fictional environment (as he did in his first novel,
		.) Barry proffers two rather lackluster boy-meets-girl stories, some high tech corporate sabotage, and a manhunt/chase that's hampered both by trite backstory and a reliance on tall coincidences, like mistaken identity between two similarly-named sharpshooters.
		Strong characterization can compensate for a predictable plot, but Barry's people are shallow.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Jennifer Government: a Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The world is run by giant corporations who literally go to war with one another; Australia and the U.K. are annexes of the United States; the police are for sale to the highest bidder; and employees take the last name of their employers.
		And it's clear that Max Barry is a big Neal Stephenson fan, as the world overrun by corporate America is a very Stephensonian theme.
		In Barry's world, corporate America controls not only the US (and the entire western hemisphere) but also England, Australia, and Japan, and the consumerist/corporate culture (referred to as "capitalizm") is so pervasive that a person's last name is determined by the company they work for.

		Even the most ambitious social satires tend to have rather limited power in the real world, and Barry is surely more interested in entertaining than in preaching or inciting.
		"Barry's style of writing is much like that of Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club....[H]e has you on the edge of your seat from the very beginning....
		In the near future, corporations rule the world and the one who defies them is pursued relentlessly.

		Like Steve Aylett, Alexander Besher, Douglas Coupland, Paul Di Filippo, Jim Munroe, Jeff Noon, and Chuck Palahniuk, Max Barry is an author of smartass, punky satire for the late capitalist era.
		It's a hip and happening field; before publication, Jennifer Government (Barry's second novel) was optioned by Stephen Soderbergh and George Clooney's Section 8 Films for a major motion picture.
		This field is so hot, its writers needn't be nearly as accomplished as they'd have to become to break into any other form of fiction.
