¿Y si todo el mundo, hombres incluidos, fuera obligado a ser vientre de alquiler? "Hijo de sangre".

Veo que te recomiendan varias veces Matabot, me uno, que son divertidisimas.
No es de este verano pero a mí me encanta tb la trilogia del Imperial Radch de Ann Leckie, y cualquier cosa que escribiese Octavia Butler, pero especialmente Xenogénesis.

like. didn't butler do that with just xenogenesis alone (except instead of an advanced irl civilization it's an advanced alien civilization that has been living Among Us)

I started reading her work at Wildseed and The Patternist series: new species descendant from ancient, lost beings.
Next I read the Parables: apocalypse and rebuilding.
After that, I read Dawn and the Xenogenesis series: aliens and crossbreeding. 2/?

1) probably XENOGENESIS by Octavia Butler (this is me sneaking in a trilogy again, but I have it published in one volume, and believed it to be a single book when I read it)
2) ANCILLARY JUSTICE by Ann Leckie, and it’s not close

Or.. read Harlan Ellison's 'Xenogenesis' essay until you get the point and learn to enjoy things without making them a lifestyle?

I mean, it looks interesting to read anyway, but my two red flags on this are "is this going to just underline 'Xenogenesis' more" and "will the author directly cite When A Fan Hits The Shit uncritically"

J'avais bien aimé Xenogenesis d'Octavia Butler alors j'ai voulu découvrir d'autres romans de cette autrice et je suis tombée sur ce petit livre feel good, ca s'appelle "La parabole du semeur". Ca fait du bien par les temps qui courent 😬

Dark descent on my mind but man i really hope they do the xenogenesis or whatever the hell it was called. Psychic human-synths would be not poggers imo

And how quickly that entitlement leads to the sort of behavior Harlan Ellison wrote about in 'Xenogenesis'.

Octavia E. Butler. Her "Xenogenesis" trilogy provides a useful framework for understanding the dynamics of power, symbiosis, and identity in networked systems.

Schöner Überblick! Zwar keine Romance im Genre-Begriff, aber ich musste sofort an Xenogenesis von Butler denken. Was Romance und "Spice" angeht, hat mich die Reihe echt herausgefordert; Körperlichkeit, Hybridität, das sind ja durchaus große SF-Themen, die durch "Spice" ergründet werden können

if you like dystopia with surprisingly relevant social commentary - parable of the sower
if you like freaky weird alien stuff - xenogenesis series
if you like time travel and being irrevocably changed as a person - kindred
