Fannish 50 #24: Translation State
Aug. 4th, 2023 08:32 amTen years ago Ann Leckie published Ancillary Justice, the first book set in her Imperial Radch universe. I loved that book and its exploration of what AI consciousness and personality. While I enjoyed all the other books in that world, none blew me away like the first.
Leckie's newest book in this world, Translation State, came out this year. It almost feels like a YA coming-of-age story diving into what it means to be human, what constitutes, and how meaningful it is to be free to make personal gender decisions. One of the things I really loved about this book was Leckie's exploration of very non-human species and how various species who cannot meet physically can find meaningful ways to interact together.
