This reads like classic 1960s science fiction, and I don't mean that as a compliment. Manly White Men, 'women, who can understand them, lol,' almost entirely asexual but what there is is firmly hetero, minorities barely acknowledged.

Early-technology sapients discovered, spear-users described, infelicitously, as 'spear-chuckers'. Omnicidal advanced species discovered, Our Heroes come up with something described as a 'Final Solution'. None of it seems *malicious,*, just *bogglingly pig-ignorant* for 2016.

A human colony founded by emigrants from Polynesian cultures but the characters have names like Gina and Cal; representatives from Africa named Hubert. And don't get me started on the bathetic attempts to write romance.

this isn't on the top ten list of things wrong but lord it bugs me how he keeps using the term 'android' to refer to non-andros-shaped robuts, like pteranodon and dolphin 'androids' (sic)

That in and of itself would be a dealbreaker for me. Unless maybe they were basically human intelligences in robot animal shells...?

That is the case, actually, but andr- -oid clearly means the shape is like that of an andros, so a manta-ray or pterodactyl bot with a human intelligence is imo NOT AN ANDROID

I don’t have a huge problem with it applying to other shapes so long as something about it is clearly “human-like.” (“Gynoid” would be meaningless, but then who uses it anyway?)
