Jyoti MishraYou know when people tell you a book is a romp and it's very much *not* a romp? This book IS a romp. From the very start to the very end, I was like OOH! AHH!! WHUT? NOOOOO!<a href="https://bookwyrm.social/book/569496/s/the-terraformers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bookwyrm.social/book/569496/s/the-terraformers</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/AnnaleeNewitz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnnaleeNewitz</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheTerraformers</a>

Ben GleasonJust finished reading <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheTerraformers</a> by <a href="https://wandering.shop/@annaleen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@annaleen</a> and wanted to read more of the same, so I was happy to discover they've written other <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SF</a> books in the same vein, possibly sharing the same universe and timeline.

Ben GleasonI was initially put off of reading <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheTerraformers</a> by <a href="https://wandering.shop/@annaleen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@annaleen</a> because it's set more than 50,000 years in the future. It's hard to imagine humanity surviving that long. But once I got over that hurdle, I discovered a really engaging story with interesting characters and (obviously, given the title) great world-building <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SF</a>

Artemisia VulgarisAt the juncture of enormously sophisticated bioengineering and ecological awareness, life-form rights and community ethics, and impressively evil corporate profiteering, <a href="https://wandering.shop/@annaleen" class="u-url mention">@annaleen</a>’s The Terraformers is a book for our time and a novel that makes me excited about science fiction again <a href="https://social.coop/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/SFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SFF</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TheTerraformers</a>

JulesLots of similarities to <a href="https://rheinhessen.social/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheTerraformers</a> here: sensor networks to carefully monitor the environment; a movement with emphasis on treading lightly on the earth; a sort of "terraforming" (not to build a new ecosystem, but to change or rebuild an existing one); small groups working relatively independently; working together in family groups which aren't just nuclear families.No moose (yet) though.<a href="https://rheinhessen.social/tags/HalfBuiltGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HalfBuiltGarden</a> <a href="https://rheinhessen.social/tags/Books2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books2023</a>

Sigrid EllisSo the book that <a href="https://wandering.shop/@annaleen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@annaleen</a>'s The Terraformers most reminds me of is Janet Kagen's Mirabile. Not in stakes - the stakes in the two books are quite different! - but, yeah.Mirabile.

Dysmorphia💛🤍💜🖤Let's start in the middle, or actually, the middle of the last third of the book. Moose, a sentient cat reporter, and their friend Scrubjay, a train temporarily in the guise of a robot beaver, go to a demo night for indie video games at a club in the robot cruising district. Like most trains, Scrubjay loves games and eagerly tries out one of the demo games, Farm Revolutions. It sucks.<a href="https://rinsemiddlebliss.com/posts/2023-04-14-unplayable-games-terraformers-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rinsemiddlebliss.com/posts/2023-04-14-unplayable-games-terraformers-review/</a><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blogging</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookReview</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheTerraformers</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/narratives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#narratives</a>

Dysmorphia💛🤍💜🖤If you're looking for a normal kind of book review, the kind that says, should I read this book? Is it good? The answer is yes. It has a sentient moose that communicates by text messages. What more do you need to know? How about a nice discussion about an imaginary game inside the book instead?** Unplayable games and untellable tales **A sort of review of The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz<a href="https://rinsemiddlebliss.com/posts/2023-04-14-unplayable-games-terraformers-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rinsemiddlebliss.com/posts/2023-04-14-unplayable-games-terraformers-review/</a><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blogging</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookReview</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TheTerraformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheTerraformers</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/narratives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#narratives</a>
