Kim Stanley Robinson: 2312 (Hardcover, 2012, Orbit) 3 stars

The year is 2312. Scientific and technological advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. …

Guessing at the start/end dates. Started strong but petered out in a way that was rather than unsatisfying. Found it on a list of books with intersex rep, and I think this is inaccurate - Swan is trans/altersex (she intentionally transitions to mixed sex characteristics). She is not intersex. Some of the other characters /might/ be intersex but it would really more accurately be varsex representation than intersex because they're not really specified as intersex, just that they have variant sex characteristics. I did appreciate reading a book where being varsex was so normalized that the cause of the sex variation (i.e. natural genetics, intentional transformation, etc) wasn't worth mentioning in the bulk of the cases.
