Glasshouse by Charles Stross

4.0

While this is a fascinating study on the concept of gender roles as viewed in the distant future and definitely touches on a great many trans topics, the book is constantly hindered by using futurist terminologies that may confuse a lot of readers (especially when listening to the audiobook). I still love the moment of when it kicks into full unreliable narrator and seeing that slow slide to the other side, but considering how the main character is all too often in the dark on what's going on, the readers are often in the dark as well, and not always in a positive way.

I'm a very different person from when I first read this and it doesn't land quite as well as it did before (I have a thing for gender swaps, I wonder why. ;) ), it's still worth a read if you're familiar with far-future scifi.
