miserable, bigoted, and unimaginative. this book is throughly uninteresting beyond its  applications of scientific imagination and even those are delivered so dully that it’s impossible to care. 

“she must’ve had a doctorate in prostitution” about one of 2 female characters in the entire book. the other’s story is completely revolved around her having no agency. how creative.

Ursula K. Le Guin wrote circles around this garbage please go read her books instead.
