2.5

This book carries the voice of an over educated, pretentious, misogynist. The type of white man who is educated and uses it just to be a little bitch about it not to actually make any positive change in the world. The science is neat in parts, but definitely an unreliable narrative. Don’t read this book to be honest the obnoxious objectification and reduction of the 2.5 women in the book isn’t worth it. I don’t care if its a “classic” it actually just reads like another book written by a shitty white man in the 80s. If I wanted to read a genetic research ethics scifi book I’d just read Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake because at least it’s fucked up in a thoughtful way.
