| Why it’s on the list | Volume two of Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy, and a deliberate narrowing after the first book’s sweep: the former warship is sent to a single station and the planet under it, where the empire’s problems show up as one place’s labour, tea plantations and resentments. |

Where I heard about it
- The a16z infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the Sci-fi / Also worth reading section (B tier), under the Imperial Radch series.
About this edition
Not a starting point — it assumes Ancillary Justice’s setup about ship minds and ancillaries. The politics get smaller and sharper rather than bigger.
