Creative, thought-provoking, stark, and a great example of why sci-fi/fantasy/“speculative fiction” needs more diverse voices. Essentially an extended look at the thought, “if you'd be happy to go back in American history and live there, you're probably a white man.” Did feel like it had more premise than plot, although I know the disjointed nature of it was intentional. Butler is great, I'm excited to read more
