A sort of review of The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz

Hi friends!

Well, it seems I'm sending this newsletter every Saturday after the Friday when I publish a blog post. I hope you don't mind the delay terribly. 

Last week I read The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. This is Newitz' third novel, though only the second one of theirs that I've read. It was a lot of fun and a real comfort read during a busy week. Rather than writing a straightforward review, something already well covered by others, I feel, I have instead written about the game inside the novel and how it can be understood as a commentary on the novel's structure. So even though this week I'm not writing about Derrida, I am kind of using a deconstruction-like approach to talk about science fiction.

If all that sounds cool, head over to my blog to read the whole post:

Thanks for reading and see you on the internet!
