3.0

This book marries the language and humor levels of 

“You’re porking a geriatric!”

with pretty heavy topics of bio-deterministic societies or “your biological sex dictates your place”
and mandated/mandatory pregnancies pregnancy.


If there’s an author that can do that mash-up justice is this one, ridiculously overwrought sex scenes nothwithstanding. But the worldbuilding is very detailed, and, more importantly, very consistent.
Would have been worth exploring abortion.
