@CommanderZander @AFKBRBChocolate I'd say that was a wise choice. Player of Games is a much better book than the other.

@AFKBRBChocolate Yep, it is. And creepy, too.

@AFKBRBChocolate @klemptor I've never imagined Murderbot as female. To me, it's always seemed closer to male.

@AFKBRBChocolate Mmm. Got a long way through the list thinking "where are the women authors"? They did eventually appear, but not enough. No Aliette de Bodard? Several of the books on the list I've read and really don't rate. All Systems Red and The Long Way are books I return to again and again.

@Odo @Bebo Interesting to see her go back and clarify her thoughts over time in the essay. (I read the annotated version in Dreams Must Explain Themselves.
