Imperial Radch Part 1: Radchaai Linguistics--“she was probably male”

There’s a giant multi-galaxy empire called the Radch. Not aliens. Just humans so far into the future that their culture is radically different from any we know. 

Glove-wearing, tea-drinking, and honor-obsessed. 

The main character is a military starship AI that can control thousands of human ancillary bodies. It’s a long, complicated plot, but suffice it to say that what was once an AI with thousands of bodies, connected to a human crew, and tasked with military missions and purpose is whittled down to one single ancillary–One Esk Nineteen.

That’s not even one of the most interesting parts.
