I am currently reading A Half-Built Garden and I am grudgingly giving it my first ever Appropriate Use of Pronoun Pins in a Mixed Species Happy Gay Space Future Seal of Approval
but I’d still much rather go live in the Zealand corporate culture enclave where they have seven different pronouns and simply sneer at you for being a backwater boor if you fail to understand that anime villain is a perfectly good gender all on its own
Hi Tracy, yep, I thought (as a Pacific Northwesterner) that the ecocollective folks needed to have a little more fun and the Fun! Burning! Fuels! folks needed to be a little less complete assholes for that tension to work, but still enjoyed the book quite a bit!
Right? Like if those are my own two options I’d pick the corporate ballrooms and the backstabbing any day over the eco-collectivism via algorithm folks every time, but I’d also be on the first ship out to bug world they’d let me on.
I wish we had seen more of the Bet— they seem like they know how to throw a party!
