 jennelikejennay | Dec 31, 2020 |  In a future where humans have colonized the galaxy and space ships have humans directly controlled by the ship AI as workers and soldiers we get to follow one person's story as she finds herself in that environment. I say "she" because the civilization is socially single-gendered and the pronoun preferred is the female one regardless of biological gender. The book reminds me of the Culture novels by [a:Ian M.

It started a bit complex where too much happened at once to easily form a picture of the events, but as things came together it became a "can't put it down" book. (  ) bratell | Dec 25, 2020 | Really 2.5 (  ) Ranbato | Dec 17, 2020 | This book was a little confused. The themes themselves were wonderful no doubt, but the entire plot left me wanting for a more mature writer's take. The climax was weirdly both straightfoward and confusing, unfortunately, as things fell into place as one thought they would, but in a hard to keep track of way. It was the sort of novel where the author knew the premise, and knew where she wanted to get to, and kind of filled in the rest as she went along. That said, wow were the concepts in the book amazing. The millenium-living creatures were a fascinating thought experiment, the genderless norms were unique, if a little forced and overplayed, and the ancillary concept was played well, the author considering, where it helped her, exactly what an almost-human might do in a given situation. All in all, this book was a 5/5 concepts, 2/5 plot, and 2/5 characterizations. ( ) 4dahalibut | Dec 13, 2020 | Impressive. Interesting play with gender pronouns. Shines the light on subtle and unconscious stereotyping and prejudices, based on gender. The default, in The Radtch, is "she". In some "backwater" planets, sexual gender identification is important, but in civilized lands, it's not. Artificial Intelligence, corpse soldiers, an Emperor who can be many places at the same time, and a mission of vengeance that spans light-years. I'm definitely interested in reading the further adventures of Justice of Toren... I mean One Esk. Or a new being, self-created... Either way, I'm definitely reading more. Still facedown on the floor, Seivarden said, in a small voice, “Breq?” “Not Breq,” said the Mianaai on the left. “Justice of Toren.” “Justice of Toren One Esk,” I corrected, dropping all pretense of a Gerentate accent, or human expression. I was done pretending. It was terrifying, because I knew I couldn’t live long past this, but also, oddly, a relief. A weight gone. ( ) James_Patrick_Joyce | Oct 24, 2020 | Contingut a
Now isolated in a single frail human body, Breq, an artificial intelligence that used to control of a massive starship and its crew of soldiers, tries to adjust to her new humanity while seeking vengeance and answers to her questions. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Gender roles in Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch

I don't want to say anything else about it because it feels anything at all might spoil the joy of figuring the concept out as you go. Suffice it to say it's morally and emotionally and philosophically complex. It's like Margaret Atwood meets Isaac Asimov. And the writing itself is beautiful. If you don't mind a challenge, you won't be sorry. (
