A science fiction book that definitely creates a sense of ‘otherness’ and a confusing society we won’t at all feel comfortable in.
Gender issues confuse us, and the fact that most of the characters are AIs is also a difficulty.
The plot hinges on the idea that if an AI has multiple bodies (corpse bodies – the bodies of captured soldiers used to house the AIs) – the different aspects of the AIs might have different viewpoints, morals and motivations. Very interesting but a book that takes thought and concentration.
I suspect I’ll get a lot more out of it if/when I read it again.
