On the Symb-Socket Circuit was written by Kenneth Bulmer and published in 1972. This is a crazy book that utilizes many of Bulmer's favorite themes: evil corporations, a population enslaved by pleasure, a conception of future sex as loose-ish. The scenery in this book is fabulous, everyone is fabulous and dressed up like a peacock, everyone is petting their alice (live life-support system, aka symbiote,) and parties and orgies break out 24-7. If this was ever made into a film it could be visually stunning. There is a sexy nun character that is just great. Some action and adventure shoot outs in the orchard vs. giant alien killer bees type stuff, but it's mainly about the characters and the struggle to confront corrupt corporations and demand the life they deserve, not the life the company wants to give them. This novel is good stuff.
