My last exam of the semester is on Tuesday, but...

[la_vie_noire]

Why did no one tell me this existed?

Also. Since LJ/DW knows it all; I have seen these books recommended in Amazon and other places, they made it sound like they were some post-capitalist, kind of progressive sc-f books. Both are written by white men though:

The Windup Girl.

And Seed.

Anyone heard of them/read them?

I've heard The Windup Girl is kind of faily on the race axis.

[la_vie_noire]

Oh, I see. Thank you! Not that unusual. -_-

Ugh. So away of it. Definitely. Thank you!

[aurimae]

no problem! figured i'd pass along something that's saved me the time and effort too, heh.

[la_vie_noire]

Ahahaha, pretty useful!

Yeah, I was about to say everything I've heard about The Windup Girl makes me think Hell No, but I see people beat me to it. I haven't heard anything about Seed either way.

[la_vie_noire]

Ah, thank you! Yeah, it's a big NO now.

[badgerbag]

I read Windup Girl on someone's recommendation and yeah. It was super faily and gross.

You might like Cold Magic, The Highest Frontier, or God's War...
