The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord
The Best of All Possible Worlds
3/5. Quasi-episodic tale of a scientific expedition visiting various enclaves of human settlement to find populations that share genetic and cultural heritage with a not!vulcans race whose civilization was recently destroyed.
I won't burden this book with comparisons to works of famous anthropological scifi by women. But this is lovely and slow and sad and hopeful, and a little inexplicable around the edges (or maybe I'm just really tired). Anyway, I enjoyed this, and it has a fundamental kindness to it that I think a lot of you would enjoy. Also a slow, sweet, cross-cultural romance that really takes its time.
…Yes, still. But we're serving him eviction papers starting in about twelve hours.
