Ok I see what you mean - and I agree the debate is uninteresting and kind of pointless. No reflection on the book itself of course - just bored people on the internet. I'm still puzzled why HHR mentioned Biowarian activism.The controversy over the Nibovian Wives, I'm not saying anything about the game itself being of a particular bent either way, I was merely commenting on all these banal arguments over 'sexism' and misogyny because of this one monster is all. But anyway.
I was fairly excited about Numenera, cRPG and pnpRPG, the far future setting is one that is very interesting, I'm a sucker for Gene Wolfe and his Books of the Sun(s) and Severian so this seems to appeal, the setting at the very least, in some ways to me so I'm intending on getting a hold of it.
Anyway, setting-wise Numenera is amazing, I can confirm that for sure. Supposedly Gene Wolfe's New Sun is a big influence on this so in that area I don't think you'll be disappointed. And there is a lot more to the mechanics than that review lets on.
