The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky ChambersMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really a charming bit of sci-fi light space opera with an enjoyable ensemble of characters. It's been said that good sci-fi is less about predicting the future than it is about examining the present in which it's created, and this book really embodies that. At its heart, it's about a lot of very different cultures and conflicting ideologies all trying to get along -- something our own society is struggling with at the moment. This story takes the mostly optimistic view that it's possible to all get along in the end. It might not always be easy, but we can do it.
