Acknowledging the Complexities of Humanity with Ammonite

Update: 2023-05-22

Description

We talk about Ammonite, a somewhat under-the-radar excellent sci-fi book about a virus killing all the men in a far-off planet and exploring indigenous lands as a colonizer anthropologist

Themes explored:

- Anthrophopolitics and diversity within identity

- Biopolitics and virology

- "Going Native" (TM)

- Some Ursula LeGuin themes
