This was an interesting and intense book especially in light of the global pandemic. The world building was on point, definitely believable in a situation where there are no men.
Definitely gave some food for thought commented on some interesting moral dialmmas in which are relevant to today's current society.
This was surreal to read during the lockdown this year, and I am still finding words for it. Beukes explores a world without men, but it's not the utopia you mght expect, but rather women are shown as human as men are. I really enjoyed the idea of a pandemic that changed the world in such a concrete way.
