Earth Factor Greater Than Less Than?

‘One should point out from the outset that the plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, or rather, it does in a convoluted Van Vogtian way which is vaguely entertaining but ultimately irritating.’ Thank you, Goodreads!

Is that an airborne U-boat in the background?

Even after he had his brain implanted in a cyborg, Simon Cowell favoured the high waist look.

These are pretty much all the Goodreads reviews:
“Horrible. It went at a crawling pace through the first 85% of the book, and at then at the end tried to turn into every aspect of a scifi book, cramming in so much you wondered what the hell happened.”
…
“Not one of his better works …”
…
“… grade D+ …”
…
“The book makes for uncomfortable reading, with its very misogynistic views on the roles and positions of women — mainly as sex objects and things for men to worry about. What story there was was also disjointed and difficult to read. Not recommended.”
…
“Earth Factor X is Van Vogt at his worst : obscure, unreadable, uninteresting. ”
…
” … I have no idea what point (if any) van Vogt was trying to make.”

But OF COURSE the jury favors the singer with the curviest figure. No matter how well the cyborg sings, it doesn’t have a chance. Bloody favoritism!

You’d think, with all the super advanced technology and thinking that must have gone into such an impressive robot, they might have included an opposable thumb.

EARTH FACTOR X: The story of how a supermodel, accompanied by her ex-boyfriend’s severed head, must save the world from a sadistic robot hairdresser and flying U-boats! Look for it in your local bookstore today!

I think the CPU is located in the severed head. At least she knows where she’s going.

Well, that’s one robot that won’t have to sing “If I Only Had A Brain”…

‘Omigod. Becky, look at her brain. It is so big. She look like one of those robot guy’s girlfriends, but, you know, who understands those robot guys? They only talk to her because she looks like a total Earth Factor, ok?I mean, her brain is just so big, I can’t believe, it’s so round, it’s like out there. I mean–X. Look!’

I like big brains and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a big brain in your face
You get sprung, want to pull up tough
‘Cause you notice that brain was stuffed
With deep and profoundest learning
She got books that she can’t stop churning
Oh baby, I want to get wit’cha
Take your CT-scan picture
My geek brothers tried to warn me
But that brain you got makes (me so horny)
Baby got brains…
