erandir's review against another edition
2.0
A wildly uncomfortable story about a species that’s functionally asexual outside of breeding season being influenced by hollywood sexuality. It hit a little too close to home, I think, as an asexual reader, and really skeeved me out.
I guess this could be viewed as a scathing indictment of capitalism and colonialism and the dangers of mass media, and it does eventually get around to making that point in a kind of vague way. If you enjoy spy novels and espionage and smuggling, you might enjoy this book.
