Our hosts Chris and Amy read a very neat book by Mary Robinette Kowal about a dog, named Gimlet, in space! Oh, and there are several other cool things that happen, but mostly there is a dog, solving crime, in space. Oh, wait, maybe that's actually the dog's human, Tesla Crane, an engineer-turned-detective whose spouse, Shal, has been framed for MURDER. Together, Tesla and Gimlet save the day, and Shal from certain incarceration. This book is marvelously exploratory in its portrayal of an ideal future for queer people, as humanity has reached into the stars and beyond. Left behind are preconceived notions and unnecessary assumptions, ahead are the unlimited possibilities of a future free from discrimination and hate (mostly).
