A letdown :/ I was expecting a vast space opera with a reality shaking conclusion. All throughout the book there are bits and pieces that hint toward this paradigm shift that happens in the titular 2312, but blink and you'll miss it. At the very end there's sort of a shrug and admission that okay maybe not EVERYTHING changed in 2312.
The gender politics of this book also read like they're from the mid 80s. 'Bisexuals have tits and cocks'? Okay buddy. You ever read a book and know with extreme certainty that the author has some very particular fetish?
