About the book: year / In the controversial "iconoclastic" novel "Venus Plus X" - Venus Plus X 1960, Sturgeon returns to thought about a utopia built on the basis of a different sexuality: an earthling of the 20th century, who finds himself on a planet of bisexuals, is unable to rise above the moral norms instilled in childhood; therefore, earthly civilization as a whole is not ready for utopia - until it copes with internal conflicts stemming from sexual inequality.
