If you haven't read A Memory Called Empire, go read it. If you do there's no point to me trying to sell you this book because it will have sold itself, and if it didn't you and I can not be friends.

This is more of the same in the best possible meaning of the word, a thoughtful, imaginative, introspective and far-reaching sci-fi story full of thoughts on culture, as a threat and an obstacle and an opportunity, genuinely interesting characters (Eight Antidote the GOAT), and a setting I really hope I get to spend more time with in the future.
