这本小说很好笑的样子,冷幽默的那种。比如, 这个社会真是乱套了(going to the dogs), 咖啡里没咖啡因,面包里没有gluten, 啤酒里没有酒精。呃,银行里没现金这真是个胡搞(travesty),让抢银行的怎么活?
But now there are evidently “cashless” banks, banks without any money, which is surely something of a travesty. It’s hardly surprising that people get confused and society is going to the dogs when it’s full of caffeine-free coffee, gluten-free bread, alcohol-free beer.
