This whole book is about imperialism and colonialism and all of the horror that comes with that. The writing isn’t super vivid for a lot of these, but the book doesn’t shy away from discussing these topics. I’d like to say another TW for loss of control/bodily autonomy.haberkat's review against another edition

I could have used a little more explanation about what the fuck everything in the world building meant, but also I hate when authors treat you like you're not smart enough to work it out. Go figure.
Otherwise really gripping examinations of empire and colonialism, and what would happen if the wheel stops turning (or if the spokes had different ideas about the way the wheel should turn).

I enjoyed this and I'm very interested in where things go from here. I like the questions raised nearly as much as I appreciate not being given trite answers.
