🤦🏿‍♂️Actually, nevermind.
Why is everything like this?
The author supposedly went on an anti-woke, right-wing podcast to promote the movie while trashing other books and movies that do have a "woke" message or that have inclusive representation? But... why?
Why was that necessary?
@mekkaokereke Ugh, that is so disappointing. I broke a 2-year streak of “only books not written by cis het white dudes” to read PHM.
Got tons of great recommendations for you though! Anything by Ursula LeGuin, Octavia Butler (the Xenogenesis trilogy is my personal fave), Becky Chambers, Annalee Newitz, Nnedi Okorafor, Charlie Jane Anders (esp. The City in the Middle of the Night). RF Kuang’s “Babel” is more fantasy than SF but it’s anticolonial and brilliant.
Sheesh. That's deflating. I'm on page 304.
