Based on the comments everyone seems to be voting for Le Guin, and yet that's not coming up at the top. Selection bias I guess. :P
I guess so too. To spell it out: Voters & commenters are different subpopulations.
May as well go with Ursula.
I voted for Le Guin, but I always love seeing orders of magnitude put into perspective, I kind of hope you end up doing something about this also, even though rn it has much fewer votes
Whatever you like, or what the patrons like. I'm voting Le Guin. I like, respect, admire, & enjoy her work. She's not my favorite SF author. IOW my feelings are disjointed. Not that your opinions are going to change that, necessarily. But it could be helpful. Usually is. I think about the relative amount of emptiness in both outer space & inner space. How different that feels to me than the way we experience our spaces here at the surface of a planet with an atmosphere. It's in a way, alienating & scary to think of the universe at those unfamiliar scales. But I've thought about the almost magical difference between a million & a billion seconds, & the vastness of outer space, my whole life as a fan of SF. Le Guin is a more manageable topic, & yet I haven't processed her enough. So it'd be peachy for me if you took that on. Thanks for whichever you end up doing.
As is usual in my life, the candidates I vote for never win.
I guess this is a good place as any to tell you: I bought one of your Angela T-shirts and love it. Of course, the artwork is great, and it's also super soft. I appreciate that it's 100% cotton and not made in China. Thanks for the great work you do in science education and communication.
anything less depressing than the Genesis Mission
...yeah all three. but especially 1 and 3 I need in my life
