I felt icky after I read this book. It's not that it was a bad book, but it just gives you no real hope for humanity. But, the set up for the book was super interesting. It starts out with a guy writing to a publisher about the history of the world, where there was a time that women were not in the power roles that they are today, before men were subservient to women. Pretty interesting to have the dynamics changed in the book. Women have developed a skein that emits electricity from their bodies and therefore become the dominant gender. And basically, we learn that people are people- all have different personalities and ambitions regardless of what gender we are. Interesting take on the world, and I'm kind of glad I read it, but I don't think I'll re-read it. I still feel icky.
