Who would’ve thought that in a genre of infinite possibilities, the most horrifying antagonist would still be a run-of-the-mill creepy, rapey narcissist of a man? (Every single woman, that’s who.) I wasn’t super convinced by the interplay between the scientific and moral elements in this novel but overall still a pretty solid story.
