idk i wanted to like this book. the world building is interesting, like the idea that a post-scarcity world wouldnât necessarily be a utopian one. and nell, the main main character is âloveableâ and itâs satisfying to watch her grow up and see her relationship with the primer.
but some of the ideas didnât really come across to me like the âseedâ vs the âfeedâ, like why are they different?and the weird bioluminescent orgy supercomputer as a new technology and the political conflict was a little confusing and maybe not necessary since its bubbling over seemed like a rushed afterthought at the end.
very very white savior-y and orientalist. like literally an army of faceless âabandonedâ chinese girls being led by a white girl? the white characters are the only ones who get to have their inner lives explored and who get to be the âgood guysâ.
