The fact that the book description contains such a huge spoiler is unconcoucionable. However, it's not egregious enough to spoil most of the story; which doesn't approach the standards set by the "Children of" series but that's a very high bar to be sure and not easily reached by anyone.

Lots of interesting history. Like so many books about bias, you won't find a single word anywhere acknowledging the fact that the bias isn't perpetrated by everyone or that some of the worst perpetrators are those IN the afflicted group. As a rather short person I can say that I've had several women supervisors and all were taller than me. Given that women are typically shorter than men it seems more likely that, now that women have clearly broken into the previously excluded fields, most of the bias may not necessarily be about being a woman anymore.

When an author starts spouting "politically correct", divisive, virtue signaling phrases I'm done. Book gets returned and I never consider that author again. I've got literally hundreds of books under my headphones and know there are plenty of good authors out there that aren't explicitly trying to prove they are towing all the divisiveness lines.

I don't think I've heard anything so intricately woven. All the praise is well deserved.

Although the arc seems to be heading into skippyland I trust Mr. Taylor's imagination is easily up to the task of keeping the story fresh and engaging.

I really didn't see any relationship between this and any of the other 3 books. No characters in common and a completely different "monster". The whole book is just escaping/defeating the zombie horde.

About as biased and partisan as it's possible to be.

Just a long list of stupid/bad things that one party did and nothing the other party did while mis-characterizing and outright lying about motives for what was done when it was something that otherwise could not be faulted.

Will holds up his end but every time Katherine starts reading I feel like I'm listening to a romance novel. It just ruins the mood of the book.
The book isn't fabulous or anything but it's not bad. Maybe even fairly decent. The reader just makes me want to turn it off.

Written in 2000 so nearly everything mentioned is either disproven or mainstream technology already.

Lots of very old si-fi but tackles a huge number of philosophical issues and describes interesting perspectives.
