[Reading] Liberty's Daughter - Naomi Kritzer

[white_hart]

Near-future YA SF about a teenage girl living on a libertarian seastead and starting to discover the unpleasant realities underpinning her home. I enjoyed it, but the main character sometimes felt a bit too hypercompetent for a 16-year-old (but what do I know, after all, it's a long time since I was 16). I liked it a lot, but not as much as I have enjoyed some of Kritzer's other work, in particular her novella The Year Without Sunshine and earlier YA novel Catfishing on CatNet.

I am really hoping that Catfishing on CatNet is about cats but I bet it isn’t.

It's about a sentient AI that really likes cat pictures, if that helps?

[mountainkiss]

It is delightful thank you! How could any sentient AI feel otherwise.

[white_hart]

Can I recommend her short story Cat Pictures Please? I think you'd like it.

[mountainkiss]

I think I might thank you!

Catfishing on Catnet is loosely a sequel to "Cat Pictures Please," in the sense that they share a narrator, but the tone is different and there's nothing I'd call a spoiler.

" Rule 34 is not actually correct; there are quite a few things no one’s made porn of yet. Also, I’m really not sure why so many humans prefer it to cat pictures."
