Saw a post here that mentioned Michael Moorcock as an anarchist 😎

My man moorcock is unapologetic.

I recommend The Land Leviathan (Black Attila conquers racist America) and The Champion of Garathorm (Hero becomes a woman to fulfill destiny and save the day) not because they are good but because they broach taboo topics decades ahead of the curve.

      Absolutely, and on topic for this post.

      However, I found it a hard, dark read (as is the topic of the book), and she wrote a lot of high quality but easier to read stuff in both sci-fi and fantasy. But it’s so long I read her I don’t even remember the titles except for the Earthsea trilogy.

      BTW, IT people might recognize the term Ansible which she invented.

      Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have isolated his planet of anarchists from the rest of the civilized universe.

      I must say this recommendation is delightfully on theme, nicely done 😎
