After the Mars trilogy I tried „2312“ to have a little hardcore sci fi experience again. And I was not dissappointed at all. Sci Fi is always a little stronger on the information side as, let’s say, crime novels and that’s exactly the case with „2312“.
In fact, there’s so much information in this one that you have to be really patient with the little part „plot“ plays in this story. There’s not very much. Enough story for a Ray Bradbury short story, speaking in Sci Fi terms.
Humans have developed into subspecies as soon as they settled on the planets and moons of the solar system. And they are gender fluid in the extreme. This may be disturbing for some, expecially the sex scene, but it’s a refreshening idea in my opinion
