@alexduf This came up in a different reply, but convos are fragmented on Mastodon. Here's what I replied >
Hm, that's true! But in the actual story I can only recall classic monogamous relationships, like Holden/Nagata, Drummer/Michio, Avasarala/Arjun. Naomi's son seems to struggle with trauma from growing up in a "broken" family. Overall I don't remember seeing social & relationship structures that depart from modern Western defaults.
