buzzingnat 's review for:
The Forge of God
by Greg Bear
DID NOT FINISH: 15%
Hated or bored by all main characters, bored by how story was told, disliked vague sense of misogyny/racism (nothing malicious, it just felt like every character, even the women or young men, were middle aged white men and all of the actual middle aged white men were described in a way that somehow made me really uncomfortable.)
If you want to read this book, read the first 3/4s of Seveneves (for the apocalypse) instead. Or if you dig lots of talking and really slow strange alien stuff, read An Absolutely Remarkable Thing instead. Those are both written by middle aged-ish white men, but so much more inclusive in their cast and imagination of who people are.
