I was intrigued by Bukkake Brawl because of the deep sci-fi angle to the book. I was interested and astounded at the presentation of a dystopian future world that was brutal and violently sexual in many aspects. I would definitely classify it as a science fiction story with erotic/sexual elements.
Most interesting is how it and the three short stories that follow it are constructed - that are all in the 140 character strings of the medium on which the stories were originally written - Twitter. This is a true Twitter eBook - although there has certainly been a bit of editing since it first appeared online, it stays true to the presentation.
Once I got accustomed to the Twitterization of the story, I found the first main story very compelling and intricate. Made In DNA writes an engaging story that truly has you guessing and doesn't fail to deliver on the interesting twists and turns in this brutal, futuristic society.
The follow-on short stories were interesting and thoughtful. Media Whores in particular delivered on a twisted voyeuristic future dystopian society, while the other two were thoughtful and brutal mini-stories, full of interesting word choices and linguistic interplay.
A word to the squeamish - these are brutal, violent, sexual tales that are very graphic and not for the faint hearted!
