  1. RE: dice.camp/@martin/115855314835

    I finished this a few days ago. It's a very interesting and ambitious work of sci-fi. I didn't love it, but I would still recommend it. Let's talk about it a bit. 🧵

  6. But, so far, I'm cautiously optimistic. In chapter one we said "dolphins are like this" - but then in chapter two we had a dolphin from a minority culture / ethnic group who isn't like that and struggles with his place among the other dolphins.

    My main concern so far is that none of the characters seem very likeable! Hopefully that improves.

  11. There are lots of other more powerful alien races and the galaxy seems organised on semi-feudal lines with client and "patron" species. So there is the looming question of how sensitively this novel will handle questions of race.

  16. Now reading #StartideRising by #DavidBrin.

    Only a couple of chapters into this 1980s novel, but I'm intrigued already. Humans have uplifted dolphins to equal intelligence with themselves and the focus is on a ship crewed and captained by dolphins, but with a handful of human crew.
