Wayland, Hattie, Miller, and the rest of the Millions and their politics are complexly and empathetically drawn even in this short space, and you will be left wanting more of their world. Ann LeBlanc has brilliantly imagined a queer, transhuman future that, while not a utopia, is full of hope for humanity's capacity for collective joy, care, and liberation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Lina Rather, author of \u003cem\u003eSisters of the Vast Black\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Get in loser, we're doing a cheese heist!
