I can only assume that this purported 'masterpiece' suffers from a poor translation to English. I found it overtly misogynistic and disjointed, with cardboard characters and weird imagery. I can sort of understand the disjointed nature of the narrative since we are exploring dream technology but... Our female protagonist coolly and calculatedly fights through challenges one moment, then spends the next paragraph shrilly pleading to be raped by her colleagues as that will save her from the bad guys. Uh... wut?!?

I simply didn't get the point of this mess of a novel.
