Comment on Cyberpunk novels with trans characters

freamon@endlesstalk.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Walkaway by Cory Doctorow features a trans character (not as one of the main characters though). I can’t say much about it, because I didn’t finish reading it (but I’m going to have another crack at it at some point).

Somewhat fittingly, I asked Bing beforehand to check whether it was cyberpunk, and it said:


Yes, Walkaway is a science fiction novel by Canadian writer Cory Doctorow that falls under the cyberpunk genre ¹. The novel was published in 2017 by Head of Zeus and Tor Books ¹. It is set in a near-future world where people are under surveillance and ruled over by a mega-rich elite, and follows the story of Hubert Espinoza, his friend Seth, and Natalie as they walk away from the everyday world or “Default” ¹. The novel explores themes of dystopia, utopia, oligarchy, surveillance, post-scarcity, alternative lifestyle, war, love and romance ¹.

I hope this helps!
