The politics are politicing

Soooo, that first chapter was intense

Finally, FINALLY an author who understands that empire demands eugenics and control and cannot simply be "evil, but don't worry: gay and trans people are all allowed!" Our power is that our existence threatens a social order of infinite efficiency, it belies the truth that humanity's complexity and the wet foppishness of our bodies make us poorly suited to be gears in the machine of eternal growth

Cautiously optimistic

Absolutely wretched.
