Everything I read here about this book sounds so mind numbingly tedious.

It's actually really excellent, but the discussions about it get bogged down by people who either didn't read it or barely read it (like the OP) and just want to harp on that single aspect of the premise. It's a space opera about a ship's AI out for revenge, ultimately, with decent suspense, exciting action, and a very likable protagonist.

That does sound interesting. Thanks for the more neutral summary!

That's because all anyone seems to talk about here is this one controversial aspect of it. In the book, the whole gender thing isn't harped upon or treated like a big deal. It's just a single aspect of the world-building. Someone mentioned 'The Left Hand of Darkness,' and it's a spot-on comparison: that book contains an effectively genderless world, but that's just treated as being part of the world.

Anyway, the actual story itself is a lot more interesting and contains a lot more action than people here would have you believe.

Thanks as well. I sometimes tend to get turned away from reading a book when all I read about it is tedious discussion about some ~problematic~ aspects, so I appreciate the more neutral summaries.
