Billy and the Cloneasaurus

Product Information

Unlike Ghoul, Billy and the Cloneasaurus is less a horror story and more of a low-concept sci-fi story with bizarro flirtations.

The story is gripping, darkly humorous, and interesting, though there are parts that did not sit well with me.Due to a freak set of circumstances, William 790-6 (57th iteration) survives while the 58th iteration is recycled. I got killed there by the last dinosaur before proceeding to the boat part and I respawned outside of the dinosaur area on the road. For example, everyone leaving work at the same time just to sit in traffic when leaving 20 minutes later would avoid the problem.

Will William evoke change or will he continue to be just another cog in the system in a society of greed to keep the money flowing? Normally on a William's first year anniversary of their birth, they are recycled back into the system so that the next iteration can come along.

To be honest, I read the title, prior to the synopsis and was totally clueless as to what I was getting into.

All in all, it was a nice distopian fable, a good, though sometimes too direct critique of capitalism, the only thing I didn't liked about it is the scene where I had to copulate with every singe clone of myself! Alas, Stephen Kozeniewski’s world is filled with men named William in his satirical tome, Billy and the Cloneasaurus.

Bit darker than I was expecting but I sure liked it as an allegory for living a repetitive lifestyle surrounded by others shaped by the same media and education as yourself as well as just a straightforward tale of clone life on a large scale.

Kozeniewski blended dark humor, character development, wit, and satire in this science fiction story. The juxtaposition of this society's horrors and a glib attitude give the story a darkly comedic ring. Items originating from areas including Cuba, North Korea, Iran, or Crimea, with the exception of informational materials such as publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, tapes, compact disks, and certain artworks.Stephen Kozeniewski (pronounced "causin' ooze key") lives in Pennsylvania, the birthplace of the modern zombie. From there, Billy meets the William that made the cloneasaurus and then we finally get our one and only female, Willa. Here was someone of the world that simply wanted to be an individual, to be special, to not be one of the mindless masses. Every William got it in his head to go to work at the same time, pop off to lunch at the same time, run off to the cleaners at the same time, and end the night with a nightcap at the same time.

There is something so delightful to me about exploring how far into the extremes humanity and civilization could possibly go. In this the story, I think that Kozeniewski captured the drive for profitability at its most horrific level. A short stand-alone (187 pages) – although we would love to see more written about this world, maybe from the time when this world was developed?

While I feel the concept of the clones conveyed messages I assume the author wanted the reader to receive, I also feel that it left a couple of holes for me. But I think what the author has really achieved is giving readers the opportunity to analyze ourselves and our current society. Billy and the Cloneasaurus is a fascinating and darkly humorous look at where our world could end up. It shows you the alien way of this future’s culture and sets the foundation for the aberrations to follow.
