      Peter Watts wins some sort of award for least sexy cyberpunk writer. (at least in the Blindsight books.)

      super advanced future tech transforming cognition in uniminaginable ways and *no one* uses it for sex. no one has sex. people barely have sexualities.

      and this isn't some sort of high concept. it's not, "in the far future, no one has sex anymore!" It's just, Peter Watts doesn't want to write about sex at all.

      a couple of guys are married but their wives have divested themselves of bodies and now spend their time in some sort of matrix like heaven where they amuse themselves doing things which (apparently) don't include sex.

      the books are pretty good (not great, but pretty good!) but you do keep expecting someone to have a sexual relationship of some sort and just...nope.

      oh I guess there is a relationship in the first volume which falls apart in part because she wants to have meatspace sex and it freaks the guy out.

      The Blindsight "series" only has two volumes, the latter of which came over ten years later and which no one read (Echopraxia) Are you sure you're not mixing up Blindsight with his Rifters quadrilogy

      It's not as carefully put together and it's got some pretty extreme edgelord elements (the aforementioned BDSM rapist guy)

          If you wanna know what makes Watts tick as a writer, though, it reveals a lot of things that Blindsight by itself doesn't
