Weirds me out that the author is white and changed her name to Starhawk. Otherwise a super creative and idyllic world, very relieving as an escapism tactic right now. A little indoctrinationy but for a system I'd like a lot better than the one we have now so it doesn't feel slimy, a little redundantly didactic but mostly self aware about it and feels beneficial. Refreshing perspective on poly relationships/nonnuclear families, honest and thoughtful commentary on many aspects of social movements.
