Taking place on the hostile, frozen world of Gethen, known to the protagonist Genly Ai as Winter, we experience a breadth of Gethenian experience. Gethenian folklore intersperses chapters of plot, enriching the reader's understanding of an alien but familiar culture. We follow Ai on his years-long mission of making first contact, trying to maneouvre a complex politic and win favour enough to phone home and bring Gethen into the greater galactic pan-human collective. + +The Gethenians are subject to many of the same pressures, both biological and societal, as we humans of Earth are - they jostle for power, feel pain and anger and loss, bear strong familial attachments and are just as wanting to oppress, humiliate and control that which they do not understand. Early in the novel, we see the poltical machinations of Karhide throw Estraven, Ai's ally, into exile. + +First contact practices - Ai is alone + +Political prowess, shifgrethor and femininity diff --git a/content/index.gmi b/content/index.gmi index 7015008..fc49ad4 100644 --- a/content/index.gmi +++ b/content/index.gmi @@ -11,9 +11,9 @@ a constant ramble of varying intensity -=> /books.gmi -=> /thoughts.gmi -=> /reference.gmi +=> ./books/index.gmi books +=> ./thoughts.gmi thoughts +=> ./reference.gmi reference ``` diff --git a/content/thoughts.gmi b/content/thoughts.gmi index 2445e0b..7d3be7a 100644 --- a/content/thoughts.gmi +++ b/content/thoughts.gmi @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -=> /index.gmi Home +=> ./index.gmi Home # Mostly readable
