    “Another Le Guin book. How could I not? Tackling themes that will always be relevant. More and more, sadly.”

    “Definitely on the heavier side, but so optimistic, and I found it impossible to put down. I like Le Guin’s fantasy, but this blew my mind. Lovely writing, wonderful characterization, so thoughtful and human and hopeful.”

    “Best and most important work of science fiction and it isn’t even CLOSE. Le Guin runs circles around every other sci-fi writer and actually knows what it means to be human”

    “When people say we are living in unprecedented times, I’m going to send them to this book (from 1974)”
