The Nebula Awards shortlist in this particular year seem to have been rife with stories featuring selfish, self-absorbed, misogynistic men for whom women were mere accessories, rather than human beings of equal worth. While it has some nice worldbuilding elements, this story featuring a self-absorbed older man creeping on a young blind girl is another example of a story having aged really, really badly.
