Reading a “cyberpunk samurai space opera” (@fondalee.bsky.social’s excellent “The Last Contract of Isako”) and even the hypercapitalist ruthless corporate-run society where being downsized or resignation means literal suicide by airlock has %^&(ing universal childcare.
Listened to half of Last Contract of Isako on the long car drive home. It’s brilliant, seriously amazing sci-fi. Great characters. Great world building. Go read this one! @fondalee.bsky.social has a home run here. Also loved hearing @maryrobinettekowal.com as a narrator. It’s just so good!
New translated short story from me in this month's issue of Windumanoth!

Yes, a great start to my summer reading with my June Book of the Month Club box! @fondalee.bsky.social @sarahmaclean.bsky.social #booksky
Really enjoying @fondalee.bsky.social 's The Last Contract of Isako. A ronin movie murder mystery political thriller with worldbuilding reminiscent of C.J. Cherryh's Cyteen.

Just finished @fondalee.bsky.social ‘s latest, •The Last Contract of Isako.” What a ride. I can’t say too much about it without spoiling so many parts, but there are certain narrative choices that have this book bouncing between cyberpunk and sci-fi noir until it’s all blended smoothly together.

The Last Contract of Isako by @fondalee.bsky.social features a too-old-for-this-shit ronin, great worldbuilding, and lots of very smart social commentary. And yet another entry on the list of "good authors I like but haven't read what they're famous for." Full ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review here: bit.ly/3QoGkt1
"The Last Contract of Isako" by Fonda Lee
This is a complicated book to categorize. It’s kinda-sorta dystopian, kinda-sorta cyberpunk, definitely a science fiction murder mystery, and definitely a ronin story (though I don’t know if that part...

Oh my goodness. @amalelmohtar.com has a way of reviewing books that pierces straight to the heart of a story with a clarity that stuns even the author. I feel speechless and touched and seen. 🥹

GUYS go get @fondalee.bsky.social’s Last Contract of Isako! Especially if you’re starving for a badass older female protagonist. It has all the fun action of SAMURAI IN SPACE but also tells a layered story about those who are both the tools of corporate empire AND its victims! Yes complex morality!!
The Last Contract of Isako by @fondalee.bsky.social is an excellent book. Definitely check it out if the description sounds at all interesting.
