Gina is a high school kid who puts on a set of headphones to listen to a tape. Poof! She has become a slave of the tapes. She will do everything the tapes say, and she will like it. It is also her responsibility to help see to it that everyone in the whole world becomes a slave. So what we have here is a sexual mind control story based on an electronic chain letter with a hedonistic Jehovah Witness twist.
Gina immediately gets her brother and sister to listen to the tape. Then the three of them hold down Mom and make her listen. Then Dad is a pushover. The whole family having been converted, they head to the Community Center where they get more tapes. The Mom and Dad tapes program the Robinsons to have sexual fidelity only with each other. Except for acts which might harm someone, or force someone against their will, they have absolutely no sexual restrictions with each other. They will, however, never willingly engage in sex with anyone else, unless they are programmed to by a subsequent tape. They are also instructed to help their kids learn the joys of sex. Future tapes expand their circle of sex partners to include 500-3000 friendly people.
Very quickly the whole world is converted. Rape and domestic abuse become quaint anachronisms. Problems like wars and tax fraud still persist; but as I read this I wasn't sure why nobody designed a tape to solve those kind of problems. I mean, there are major sociological theories that seriously argue that all wars are really fought so that men can achieve easier access to the higher status women or that if everyone had a good piece of ass there would be no time for wars. I figured the reason wars and other crimes persisted is because this is a sex story, not a sociological treatise. Actually, as I read on I discovered the answer was more complex.
As I moved through the fifth and sixth chapters, I found this to be a simple but interesting example of either a Utopian or an anti-Utopian novel - depending on your point of view. As I read the story, I could just imagine millions of children clad in pristine nakedness, holding hands and singing
If everyone fucked
Just one little brother
WHAT A GREAT WORLD THIS WOULD BE!
Of course during different verses they would insert mother, father, sister, dog, etc., in order to express their full urge for complete harmony.
And so as the story approached its midpoint, it was doing a nice job of presenting the Joys of Incest, of Lesbianism, of Anal Sex, and I was pretty sure a later chapter would get around to the Joys of Watersports. The story had made the simple assumption that people could listen to a taped message and have their lives immediately and completely transformed into an existence of complete happiness. I felt this would be nice; but I remembered getting a nun in high school pissed off when I told her that her version of heaven sounded boring - and what I see here is not much more interesting than "being eternally happy in the presence of God forever."
And so as I went through the story, I began to resist the extreme hedonism; but then around chapter 12 I realized to my astonishment that the author was subtly agreeing with me! The New World Order of the Tapes wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Then suddenly at the end of Chapter 14, Gina became unprogrammed. This was a very interesting twist indeed. Then the story started taking more and more interesting twists. These twists are fun, and so I don't want to tell you about them. You'll have to read the story for yourself.
This story is an interesting combination of sex, humor, and philosophical analysis. The author sucked me into the plot completely, and I enjoyed being fooled. Maybe this is a form of mind control! Earlier in the story I stated as one of my objections that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and in chapter 18 the author said the same thing to me. At first I thought this was a shallow story with good sex. Eventually I concluded it was a good story with good sex. If the sex weren't quite so good, this would be a best selling novel with Sandra Bullock starring in the movie version next year.
