Review of 'Halting State' on 'Goodreads'

fuck this hack garbage. stross is an utter hack. i hate this book a whole lot. i appreciate that its main character is a lady but wow the book fails to actually make her a relatable person and all of the science fiction-y ideas are shallow and trite. just awful to read.
