Blackout

This book was really creative, I appreciated the surprise sci-fi vibes. The story itself was cool and unique and thought-provoking, but I didn't really connect with the characters. A lot of the reviews are calling it “political” which is clearly a dogwhistle; the book is about rampant sexism and racism in academia, not politics. I did find a lot of the messaging to be redundant and annoyingly heavy-handed, I think the book could have done with some more editing for that.

Interesting enough, but the main character is not much of a hero as she is a hot mess.
