As useful as #LLMs really are for me, there's always this lingering doubt in my mind that it's not just pulling shit entirely out of it's own ass.
I asked #Gemini for #Solarpunk #book recommendations, and it gave me, some great one!
But then it started giving me books that don't exist in #Libgen and I have to wonder if they exist at all.

В чудесна компания сме и аз, и “Другият сън”. И е много хубаво да видиш някой да пише за Брънър.

#FinishedReading these 5 interlocking #UrsulaKLeGuin stories from the mid 90s, focusing on neighbouring planets whose societies are built around slavery, both race- and gender-based. These won't be for everyone because of their violence, particularly sexual violence, but it isn't gratuitous; that is how these systems are maintained. These are deeply hopeful stories about how human courage and love can eventually break down seemingly permanent injustices. #Bookstodon #SciFi @bookstodon

Opus magnum von Ursula K. Le Guin: Die Kluft zwischen den Lebenswelten

I finished the second book in the saga titled "The Tombs of Atuan". It's great.
It follows the story of Tenar, a girl taken to an old temple in the desert to be the priestess devoted to the "Nameless Ones", ancient gods long forgotten.
She was very lonely there; all her life changed when she met Ged, the first book's protagonist, who was in the underground labyrinth under the temple looking for an ancient relic. This encounter completely changes Tenar's life.
The main topics of the book are freedom, gender, and the power relations emanating between those, reflecting the anarchist views of Ursula.

@bookstodon@a.gup.pe Finished the first book 'A wizard of Earthsea'. I like how the book is not about good vs evil. It's more about a personal search of oneself. #fantasy #UrsulaKLeGuin

This wonderful short book is both a blistering polemic and a moving, immersive story-world.

Many good mentions here.
I'll second #BeckyChambers Pslam for the Wild Built
And the #UrsulaKLeGuin mentions. All good choices.
I'll mention #DouglasAdams as well. But point you toward Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's goofy and fun and not terribly deep, but the conceit that Earth was built as a computer to figure out the ultimate question strikes me as an answer to religion.

Le Guin’s first three novellas. A masterclass in economy: these stories are as epic, as deep, as wide ranging, and as emotionally powerful as some entire series of lengthy novels!

My favorite of the Earthsea Cycle novels. Deeply atmospheric with endless mysteries.
