I liked 'The Martian' and 'Project Hail Mary.' I think he's a grade A++ plotter and a grade B- writer. On the other hand, 'Project...' was being narrated by the character, so maybe that's the way the character writes? Of all the writers I mentioned, I'd put Tanith Lee at the top for her prose. She can create an entire world in a few paragraphs.Ah we are different then. I genuinely do not enjoy his writing, and find his characters all interchangeable and quirky because he says so. The science is tacked on like a chemistry teacher putting their kids to bed. I'll check out Tanith Lee, thanks for the recommendation. Please check out the Ej-Es story I linked too

Semley's Necklace. A lovely entry in a lovely collection. One of my favorite things about the Wind's Twelve Quarters are her notes on gender and pronouns regarding the Left Hand of Darkness and Winter's King. The way she has to invent words to describe what's commonplace to us now is fascinating. It's similar to this old Macintosh demo I fall asleep to sometimes. Words that are so normal now are foreign and need explaining. I love a good time capsule. https://youtu.be/ZmWOtf4Ziso

Ursula is okay, but here are a couple of broads who knock her for a loop. Joanna Russ was one of the first 'out' science fiction writers. If you want an adventure, try 'Picnic On Paradise.' Or get deeper with 'The Female Man' https://bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=joanna+russ Suzy Mckee Charnas. 'Walk To the End of the World' is 'The Handmaid's Tale' raised to an infinite power. After the War, the elites were locked in fallout shelters. Eventually the males decided that it was all the women's fault. Now centuries later, all the women are slaves. https://bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=suzy+mckee+charnasThe Female Man is hella transphobic.

I got a dog for my husband. It was a fair trade.

The Female Man was written in 1975. Sorry that a book written fifty years ago isn't up to date in its approach.Why should the date matter?
