did not like it

This was one of the worst books I have ever hate-read.
The plot was nonsense, the author forgot there is science in sci-fi, and nothing new was discussed.
There is rampant useless violence, homophobia racism, xenophobia, and sexism.

Some of my favourite gems in this book are:
1. Mansplaining the way one should travel through a crowd.
2. "Not like anyone else" character being an alcoholic pesimisst.
3. Describing women's movement as " the breasts floated away"
4. Imagining sexually assaulting the women from the ad, claiming he knows she liked it. (The actual ad, not the woman paying it - hard to explain, the character was ridiculous)
5. The regulation that controls the number of people on Earth is called the Choice bill. - Pretty petty comment on the pro-choice movement. >.<

Honestly, fuck this book, fuck the author, nothing made sense, the ideas kept being repeated so you could skim like 50 pages and still understand a story.

Atanas I’m 100 pages in and the homophobic train attack has just made my blood boil. Feel very much like chucking it in the bin right now.
