NB! This is not Ancilliary Justice, but a crititical companion.

This book argues that Ann Leckie’s novel Ancillary Justice offers a devastating rebuke to the political, social, cultural, and economic injustices of American imperialism in the post 9/11 era. Following an introductory overview, the study offers four chapters that examine key themes central to the novel: gender, imperial economics, race, and revolutionary agency. Ancillary Justice’s exploration of these four themes, and the way it reveals how these issues are all fundamentally entangled with the problem of contemporary imperial power, warrants its status as a canonical work of science fiction for the twenty-first century. The book concludes with a brief interview with Leckie herself touching on each of the topics examined during the preceding chapters.

Fun book, with good characters

I quite enjoyed this book, it dealt well with languages and people, and was really enjoyable, with just enough sci-fi stuff in there. I went through it pretty quick which is a good sign, and always wanted to keep on reading, a good book :)
