This is clearly a dystopian future, but other than that, there's very little world-building.   The Chinese rule in, what, California, and Mexicans in Texas?   Something like that.   Supplies are limited, and there are cyborgs - including implants that allow you to tweak your nipple, and give you a  hit. 

But I really don't feel that I know the world.   

Still, Trip, with his lack of morals, and Rudy, his karmically inclined but always stoned brother, are hilarious.   The banter between them is just superb, and oftentimes as bizarre and enchanting as the general ideas that are tossed around in this short prequel. 

There are some embarrassing typos - while instead of whine, we're instead of were.   Those were the only two, but again, were so glaring that I thought I'd make note of them.   If you don't mind those two typos, and you're looking for something hilariously bizarre, consider giving this a try. 

Read this as part of my birthday challenge.

Manstresses is a great word!

29%: “Pilot? Who says you need to be a pilot? It’s a blimp. It’s barely more advanced than flying a kite. Except instead of flying the kite from the ground, you’re in the kite.”

“That doesn’t sound right.”

33%: A skin flap on the back of his hairy forearm popped open, his implanted buzz-saw springing out.
