a fascinating premise dulled by casual racism, rampant sexism, and anti-fat bias. i want to rate this book higher, but i cannot without getting a bitter taste in my mouth unfortunately. it’s truly upsetting reading from a point of view that asks philosophical questions of the world… while ultimately not challenging the world outside the straight, white, masculine gaze :/

sci fi authors will ask “is anybody else gonna describe every female character’s bust in detail each time they show up?” and not wait for an answer... -_-
i had the same problem with do androids dream of electric sheep, though that one was much worse. i love sci-fi, but it kills me how saturated with misogyny the genre is.
