Trouble on Triton: An Ambiguous Heterotopia by Samuel R. Delany

Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.

The POV main character was very difficult to stay engaged with, they were a rather average and sometimes annoying person, with misogyny issues. I saw the book introducing interesting themes in the futuristic society- such as close to full gender autonomy, but under a capitalist dystopia, and were religion and identity have degraded from meaning into fads. The difference in male/female sex work being embraced or banned by planet depending on gender was interesting. I wanted to like this because Delany has much better books. I can appreciate the big picture concepts he is trying to explore, but the boring main character and extremely slow pace didn't do it for me. I can't finish this right now.
