shout out to that one random small town librarian who saw right through facade when i was still in the closet. when i asked if they could recommend a scifi book they got this devious look in their eye and i knew i was perceived. they recommended a book. it felt like some kind of omen.
when i read the book1 it's this post-apocalyptic thing. these aliens attack earth. last ditch effort launches a colony ship fast forward a few thousand years or something. one of the last projects worked on was an adroid made of nanites using the upload of a woman's brain as the core identity. and well, humans being humans end up with another religious group of asshats that effectively revert society back to a bunch of patriarchal nonsense. so then the android needs political power so of course she immediately grows a dick. there was quite a bit in there about just how weird it is to have a dick.
anyways. yeah. sometimes librarians just see all of the way through your bullshit.

i can't remember the name of the book or the series of books to save my life. if anyone recognizes the plot please tell me. lol
i just remembered i had it written down somewhere.
it's the safehold series by david weber. the first book is off armageddon reef
i still remember the way the librarian did the whole drug dealer who is making sure no one is watching before showing you the good stuff thing. then he was just like, i wouldn't recommend this to just anyone but i think you will really like this.
does it make it better or worse that i went back to the library like ten times and never saw the guy again?
That's cool as hell

I also want to know what that book is now!
