The Alien Condition

by Stephen Goldin

[[Review of "Love Is the Plan the Plan Is Death", a short story by James Tiptree, Jr. --- fucking goodreads merges.]]

Had to quit listening to this on the Lightspeed podcast and read it instead. It's normally the kind of thing I would be super into---culture and psychology of a very very alien species that's more predatory and instinct driven than humans---but it's also gory and gross and turns out to be a bad choice of listening material while very carsick.

(earlier:) Unsure whether I'd be liking this better if I didn't have to hear the reader bellowing "I, MOH-GAH-DEET" several times a minute.
