LoveStar

There is nothing against wooing a woman but the specific behaviour of pickup artistry is considered odious to modern Icelanders (and from what I read the 'community' warns its members to avoid the island like the plague). It's seen as demeaning and against the spirit of equality and to my knowledge no country goes further in actually enforcing it, e.g. there is mandatory paternity leave (so, if the mother wants to take maternity leave, her partner has too for the same length of time).

Sounds like my kind of society.

LoveDeath is a reality, apparently. 

Celestis calls itself the "world's first pet memorial spaceflight service," willing to "honor your best friend with a journey to the stars." Depending on how far you want your pet to go, the company offers four different launch options. The first is Earth rise, which sends your pet into zero gravity before landing safely back on Earth. Earth Orbit, the second option, sends your pet into space alongside a satellite before streaking into the atmosphere in a blaze.

By now I am in possession of a copy of the Icelandic edition of the book.
I did not yet dare to open it to try to read it (and I will not do so without the English edition within reach)
