The cacophony of this world which includes all the exciting and current
issues of biogenetics, is set by Sieberer in not so distant future, in
some kind of grotesque Megametropolis in which human beings are mere
transplants, worthless cog wheels in the dreadful machine of technology
and consumer rush. As expected, Sieberer uses urban language for the
dialogues (he chooses Ljubljana again) which functions as estranged and
aggressive as the whole megalopolis milieu.11

Sherry could easily be observed as a mirror image of
author's
restless and perpetually wandering spirit. She could be seen as an
icon of self-ironising reality that the author modestly set somewhere
in the future. But deep inside, he is the only knowing (aside from the
quick-witted reader of course) that the cruel pieces of the socalled
science fiction are actually already being lived here and now ...
... The mirror of institutions, criticism of the capital, social
classes and apparent humanity of people (and not only people), all
these are distinctive features of this book. Taking you to a fantasy
world full of pleasure, this novel will spontaneously whet your
scientific appetites through humor, grotesque and skillful technical
vocabulary.12
