Review of 'Voyage along the horizon' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
a bit hyperbolic / glosses over lovecraft's racism iirc / mostly full of wonderful lessons about life. taught me to reject the illusory "progress" of technological civilization. we're all just awful to each other all the time regardless of how technology evolves around us.

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.
