Description: Toho Kingdom writes: "Godzilla Meets Master Charge tells the fictional tale of one David Stringfield, a former social activist and a consummate ladies' man who has now become a disillusioned college professor with more than a hint of "hippy" about him. After hooking up with New Age, free-love girl Mara, David abruptly quits his job at the college in order to produce a film called Godzilla Meets Master Charge, an anti-consumerism tale in which an American couple, Rhonda and Bob, feeling trapped by consumerism and credit card debt, go to Japan to recruit Godzilla (who, it is decided, is a "woman") to save them from the societal and economical ills created by the monopolistic credit company Master Charge (presented as an actual company in the book). David has no idea how to go about putting together a movie, however, but in stumbling through the process, he manages to drum up a publicity machine for the proposed film which in turn ignites nationwide protests against materialism, false advertising, and the overuse of credit which Master Charge encourages. After some civilians start publicly burning their Master Charge cards, the head of Master Charge, Mr. Alworthy, uses all of his resources against David in order to break or assimilate him, going so far as to kidnap him and force him into becoming a part of a bizarre alternate community characterized by meaningless labor and empty lives. After that, David is introduced to Alworthy's idea of a utopia, a city called Americardia in which credit has replaced all physical money, and purchasing goods has become the center of all life. David, surrounded by temptations, realizing the extent of the power that Alworthy possesses, must decide what to do next, if his mission of anti-consumerism is even viable, or if the world is doomed to financial inequality and selfishness." The review then proceeds to stomp all over the book. So it is what it is, at least an elusive offering for the most rabid Godzilla completist.
