Many of us had to figure out our own queer/ neurodivergent identities, and or how to manage our disability(s).
I figured its time we had a book bundle in which characters do that, by authors on the same journey(s).
So I organised this fantasy & multi-genre bundle.

I've finished: The Fortunate Fall by Cameron Reed
It is hard to discuss The Fortunate Fall without spoiling it.
The first half is great mid 90s Cyber Punk. With some neat ideas and much more depth than just; Maya is a camera.
I enjoyed the historical aspects of the novel, as Maya works to uncover past atrocities that the current regime is working to memory hole.
The cycle of revolution where the alternative is just another type of repression is the main theme.
The second half of the novel goes off the beaten path and I guess that's why I only heard about this novel in the 2020s.
It is definitely worth it, despite some bad writing. This is a novel that will make you think about the author's intent.
I think it's championing free will and consent.
That's why I accept the notion that The Fortunate Fall may exist in the same universe as the author's new novel (published 30 years later), What We Are Seeking.

PS.
I enjoyed the Wizards vs. Lezbians episode about The Fortunate Fall.
Note that the episode is from 2021, before the author's transition. So they are still referring to her by her former name.
