too many brand names mentioned, too many mentions of princess and the bride, and also why haven't they met yet

unnecessarily repeats plot points

has a professional tech job yet not a single one of her emails is professional

currently all repetitive exposition :(

"a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance"

holy anti feminism part 2: every man is dangerous and sexual and only thinks about sex, every woman is an object to be sexualized. ALSO, why would a girl who grew up in a highly controlled, religious, homophobic, etc household not turn out red pilled, when she has no other exposure?

pg 182 "HPSV. human parasyphilian virus. causes lesions in the sylvian fissue the brain". WHAT??? the sylvian fissure is implicated for language and some reasoning skills.. why didn't you go for the hypothalamus, hippocampus, or nucleus accumbens, which are all much more implicated for sex drive 💀

unfortunately the fact that this is a debut novel does show.. but still, Weir is witty and fun and i'm enjoying the story. I really enjoy the science
