Review of 'Iron Dream,the' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
What if Hitler had written science fiction?
This is the question that Norman Spinrad asks in The Iron Dream, and one I can't say I'd ever thought of exploring the answer to before. This story within a story contains an entertaining, homoerotic exploration of a post-Nuclear future where the quest for human genomic purity is centred by a Hitler self-insert. The satire of Nazism simply doesn't miss, even as we have passed the Cold War context in which it was written. Highly recommend giving it a shot if weird/bizarro fiction ever floats your boat.
