The Left Hand of Darkness
by Ursula K. Le Guin
i read this for my science fiction course in college, and i’ll be honest im surprised this was picked, since the subject matter may seem touchy. our main character, Genly Ai, is sent to the planet of Winter to introduce the people there to add them to a galactic collective. turns out, the people there are genderless most of the time and genderfluid when their time of the month comes, which leads to a very different society from our own. this book is no doubt extremely important. however, it still was hard to follow at times. i highly recommend for anyone getting into classic scifi, but not to newbies.
its also a total coincidence that i’ll be reading quite a few scifi for fun in the near future! it was a goal of mine this year to do so, so im glad im checking that off.
