In general I loved this book, but what thing that really stuck with me was this one bit of world building where an automatic translator had issues with a colloquial term and just that stuck with me as such a clever thing to write, but also I felt like it paralleled Dr Del’s exploration into other species so well and like, emphasize the importance of actually interacting with your subject of study over just learning about it from books and reports.
listen this book is hot and you should read it! I’m just focusing in on one little point and don’t think because of my comment it’s not a fuckfest because it literally is and I’m here for it.
