I was not prepared. Book was so good! Definitely unique from mainstream sci-fi. Also, it did help me to see that, while slavery and segregation are no longer legal, sadly, the systems of oppression (and excuses made for their existence - typically by white people/men 👀) are still in place for POCs today, just in a different form. When will we learn to do/be better America?
