Our young revolutionaries have not exactly achieved Utopia ever since they ended the world as we know it, have they? So what is it they need in order to make a better job of things? Why, an upgrade, of course. And that’s literally what they get in this penultimate volume of the series, in appropriately trippy fashion.

What I like about the upgrade on a conceptual level is that it does not turn our flawed protagonists into more awesome and aloof individuals, quite the contrary. It gives them a new humility, teaches them that in order to make the world a better place they must first “get past all the constant fucking moaning and hating and fighting.”

In other words, our heroes must overcome their egos and finally pull together in the same direction - Sham 69-style, that's right. Cause “if the kids are united, then we'll never be divided...” :)
