Dav Ito (they/them) reviewed The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz
If you're looking for a book that divests you from reality, don't read this book
5 stars
Newitz paints a world that is simultaneously deliciously and painfully woke. I started reading this book hoping for some light science fiction entertainment, and I was fantastically disappointed.
This book is not another example of how prophetic science fiction is, because so many of the issues are already happening. Now.
From corporate indentured servitude to gender as a spectrum to consent in kink... this book has got it.
If you're looking for a light read that won't suck you in and drown you in the pages, then you should probably look elsewhere.
