Bang Bang Bodhisattva
mystery set in a near-future cyberpunk future
follows a trans hacker who does random gigs to get by, but is on the verge of losing her apartment
and an ex-cop PI who takes her along on jobs sometimes - and when they’re investigating his missing ex-best friend they find him murdered instead
along with her new crush mysteriously disappearing - she’s dragged in the middle of a mystery with few leads
trans polyamorous MC, ace MC
#Bang Bang Bodhisattva#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#This is interesting!#Some fun and interesting characters and I liked the platonic buddy comedy parent/child figures kind of vibe they had going on.#thank u lulu for mentioning this to me bc it was an ace character; which thought that was handled pretty well (if brief!).#Nice to see older ace characters.#I liked the near future cyberpunk dystopia - very easy to see how we could easily go from here to there#especially with the rise of fascism and tech bros currently..#I’ve seen review like wahh wahh outdated internet references but idk. have you seen gen z on the internet#people love to bring back that shit. I assumed it was meant to be ironically cringe?#While I do think the themes re: the antagonist’s identity (like theseus ship & cyborgs) are interesting; it feels a bit#uncomfortably close to some specific [identity related] tropes. And also felt a bit unmeshed with the rest of the story in general?#Like I feel like I would have enjoyed that as a narrative from that character’s POV but as a murder mystery murderer….idk.#It kinda starts conversations about cops and racism but doesn’t really go anywhere with all of them?#Other than I guess being clear how the systems are all terrible & a fair amount of police violence#anyway mixed feelings!
