The Left Hand of Darkness
(Ace Books)Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a universe where humanity has colonized the stars. The human genome has spread throughout the void, seeding worlds and causing humanity to mutate little by little along the way. On the ice planet of Gethen, a species of post-humans has evolved to form a complex society where gender roles are entirely eliminated. The Gethenians are ambisexual, meaning that they only develop male or female sexual characteristics while in “kemmer” – a brief, monthly period of fertility. An ambassador from a human federation of planets comes to visit the Gethen in hopes of convincing its nations to join up with their human siblings beyond the stars. It doesn’t go so well, his cultural misunderstandings cause him to become a political undesirable, and he’s forced to flee across a cold wasteland with a Gethenian companion by his side. Part political drama, part sci-fi, part almost slow burn romance, all aliens.
