Despite an overlong first act and an abrupt ending, I liked this one a lot for its richly detailed setting and its provocative take on AI. I'll read more Scott.
MogoegDreaming Metal, which is set in the same universe as Dreamships (& is sort of a sideways sequel to it) is one of my favorite books. I picked it up at the library years and years ago & it was the book that got me into far-future science fiction. Scott was a true pioneer & did not get much mainstream attention as she wrote LGBTQ+ characters regularly. Her world building is unparalleled IMO, but her pacing and plotting sometimes aren't as strong.4y
swynnI'll have to read that one soon, while Dreamships is fresh. Thanks for the rec@mogoeg!4y
Mogoeg@swynn - my pleasure! I've read most of her original sci-fi and some of her early fantasy (she also wrote a lot of Star Trek novels I think, & recently work focuses on paranormal mystery which is not my thing). Most of her sci-fi is strong, & although some is a bit dated, a lot was ahead of its time in terms of the zeitgeist (she has a whole novel based on gamers as I recall - which anticipates a lot of current culture). 4y
