As someone who loves science fiction, NASA, etc, I found this book at times very difficult to deal with. Which argues for how most of us need to wrestle with its compelling arguments and questions. And I'm happy to say the author isn't just standing athwart recent history and saying no, nor is she just roasting billionaires (satisfyingly); she has suggestions for how we might do space differently and how it doesn't have to be Space or Stagnation -- or space merely for the benefit of the few.

An absolutely brilliant book that brings together this giant web of environmental justice, capitalism, Christofascism, the whiteness of Western techno-science, colonization and imperialism, American exceptionalism, human exceptionalism, and saviorism in a way that is so incredibly clear and fascinating to read.

Why was this a book and not an essay? Because the opening chapter was good and funny and then it got repetitive. I kept skipping forward hoping to find something interesting, but I kept reading more of the same.
I tried.

Idk why I wasn’t expecting this book to be so religious

Some of the info was really interesting and I agreed with the general premise, I just lost interest during parts of it which made it kinda boring. I feel like concepts that were understood pretty easily were over explained in parts and I tuned out.
