Una lectura que requiere atención y paciencia, resultando casi en ensayo e incluyendo múltiples referencias filosóficas y científicas de la época.
Esto la constituye posiblemente en la primera obra de ciencia ficción pero también protofeminista y muchas cosas más que se entienden mejor con el maravilloso prólogo que introduce Siruela en la reedición de este clásico del siglo XVII (leer antes en caso de preferir la información y después si queréis evitar spoilers).

A historical curiosity but not an interesting read. The religious stuff gets very tedious, and there's a lot of it

A really interesting examination into what a woman in power would be seen as in the time period. One of my favourite early dystopian novels. Loved the idea of in trying to make it better she divides it and the line on making a world inside her own head to be content with

I didn't like it much for the same reasons I didn't like New Atlantis much- it's basically a philosophy book masquerading as speculative fiction. I do think this one is a little closer to the modern day idea of science fiction than New Atlantis was, and it also seemed a little less racist/misogynistic, so I liked it better. Also, I found her direct self-insert character, and the transparency of "everything would be better if people just listened to me and I was in charge", is incredibly funny to me. It is a lot of lists and just things randomly happening, it's not really a narrative story. There are some really cool and beautiful descriptions in there, but the writing style can be difficult because it's a lot of really long run-on sentences. I do feel a little bad criticizing it for that- I know I use run-on sentences constantly- but this is significantly worse than any crimes I myself may or may not have committed. Also, too much talk of worm-men. Stop making me think about what that means.
