What people on Hacker News said
It's a strange science fantasy (like Star Wars) which revolves around using mathematics and calendars to drive exotic machinery and technology.
The author is a queer trans man. This book and Ancillary Justice are the 2 best books I read in 2016.
if you like "armchair playing war" sci-fi you'll probably like this more than me
