I love all literary genres, with a preference for quality fiction, sci-fi and history. I love technology, and I am old enough to remember how rosy the future looked when the Internet started becoming widespread, and the end of the cold war was at hand. I hope to be able to help new generations to go back to having a rosier look at the future, as I had the privilege of having when I was their age.

This is the second book I’ve read of Le Guin’s. I already see a pattern emerge: she is a master in embedding the description of the defining traits of humanity in thought experiments. The experiment this time is about an alien race without a pre-defined gender, and still on its road to finding out what “country”, “patriotism” and “humanity” mean in practice. Along these lines, Le Guin shows us everything that humanity is: the good, the bad and the ugly. Highly recommended: the value of this book goes well beyond science fiction.
