Fucking idiot reply, honestly. Is discussing gender such a taboo for you? If you bothered to read the book, which you won't because you're so terrified of facing any kind of politics at odds to your own, you'd realise Palmer is essentially attacking the condemnatory politics of sci-fi revolving around the elimination of gender. A major plot point is focused on how eliminating gender is bad for society

The woman's a historian, you think she doesn't have a more nuanced understand of gender than "huehuehue xe this, xe that".

I'm pretty sure I've argued this point either with you or someone of a similar viewpoint before, but just think about how you're limiting yourself by completely rejecting any novel which encompasses anything besides strictly contemporary conservative gender. It would be like neglecting to read 1984 because you're anti-authoritarian. It's a fucking book lad, the themes run deeper than the Wikipedia summery.

Yeah I didn't expect that either, but the books primarily about religion so I forgave it. Easily the weakest part of the first book though.

Don't remind me just how much fun I had reading the first Terra Ignota book. I went into it expecting next to nothing and I whizzed through it in something like two sessions over two days and it blew my absolute socks off. If I hadn't re-read it two months ago I would again. Fuck! It's such a good book.

Have you guys seen the wikipedia page?

Absolutely incredible work whoever fleshed all this out.

what didn't you enjoy about it? I thought it was pretty refreshing, and a real pleasure to read. Not exactly groundbreaking sci-fi, but fun nonetheless. Seven Surrenders is excellence
