Insultingly dumb

I like science fiction. I like who-dunnits. This is reasonably well acted. So I tried to stick with it. But there are just so many really basic and obvious factual errors that I just could not stand it anymore and had to give it up. Even if this were classified as ‘young adult’ fiction (not likely given the sexual content), I’d still advise against it because the basic science mistakes would provoke an eyeroll in even a middle schooler.

One example:

The constant reference to Rh-negative being some incredibly rare and mysterious blood type. Are you kidding me? It’s something like 15% of the population in the USA (location of story), so not exactly rare. And a so-called science writer for the NYT not knowing about it? Really?

If you’re going to try to write science fiction, do your homework.
