"Half cyberpunk anthology, half critical and philosophical discussion, all interesting.
Reading literary criticism from the early 90s about an 80's sci-fi movement may sound like omphaloskepsis, but as we (culturally) have moved into a thoroughly cyberpunk future it's an extremely useful lens through which to view concepts that have gone from high fiction to everyday interactions." — Jul 31, 2024 09:34AM

The dissection of horror tropes through the eyes of women is a recurring theme in the book. I can kind of imagine reader's yelling "YES! THIS!" at multiple points in the story where Red flatly refuses to play to a stereotype.
