  • Not fantasy but somewhat adjacent - The Left Hand of Darkness is a fantastic sci-fi novel from ‘69 that still holds up insanely well. The personal stakes develop very satisfyingly, and the tension is almost entirely character-driven. It’s about a human Envoy who is sent as an ambassador and scientist to the planet Gethen, whose inhabitants are ambisex - they adopt either male or female characteristics depending on their mating cycle.

    It’s hella emotional and is also a thoughtful exploration of gender dynamics. Highly recommend!!!

    I’m always struck by how perfectly GlaDOS’ voice strikes the balance between human and robot. It sounds cold and detached but there’s always this hint of warmth underneath. I love Portal 🥺
