Femlandia by Christina Dalcher
3.0
An early 2000s sci-fi flop. (3/5).
⠀
Okay, so a big criticism on how binary Dalcher painted gender identity. Sometimes, I felt that she was supporting this harmful concept, versus it solely being the belief system of her fictional characters—which otherwise would have been more appropriate given the plot. Very risky for ignorant readers to be exposed to flawed information.⠀
⠀
However, I can praise how it evoked an early 2000s sci-fi series—despite being published in 2021. High action and sharp emphasis on societal systems and dystopia. This style didn’t appear intentional, but I’ll give it points.
