Wasn’t it heavily influenced by a vision of dystopia, mixed with Luddism and cybernetics? I’m not an enthusiast of this gender of fiction but that’s the impression I get.
It basically adds humanity to a future (where for some the ideal was homo sovieticus).
- ghushn3 1y agoI don't think I made the claim it was solely influenced by new wave and feminist authors from the seventies. I suspect the workers rights movement (luddism), cybernetics, and different views of dystopia (including those penned by folks like Le Guin) contributed to shaping it.
