Rocannon's World is an old-school adventure story, set in a sci-fi future, with Leguin's trademark ethnographic perspective. It's a perfect blend of science and mysticism, plus cool alien cultures and poetic beauty. I'm starting to get mad that I didn't dive into Ursula Leguin's full catalogue years ago.
