merceec's review
2.0
While some of the ideas were interesting, some of them were downright offensive. Handled in the hands of a better author, may not have been, but a poor attempt at humor clearly directed at those not in these people groups (including trans people, Israelis, Palestinians, women) falls utterly flat. Some of these ideas clearly needed more thought, fleshing out, or simply an editor saying “hey, alienating half of the sci-fi fans might not be a great idea, maybe scrap the “everyone is trans and it’s a burden, Palestinians dancing a traditionally Jewish dance because “they can’t help it/ women being more upset by chocolate being gone than by rape and violence”. Again. Some of the ideas were interesting, but the distasteful ness of some of these purported futures literally soured this book as I listened.
