"All the same, I agree with my reviewer that I don’t write hard science fiction. Maybe I write easy science fiction. Or maybe the hard stuff’s inside, hidden — like bones, as opposed to an exoskeleton.…"

— Ursula K. Le Guin, 2005

Thrilled to see the news that Rebecca Campbell's 'Arboreality' has won the 2023 Ursula K Le Guin Prize for Fiction. I wrote about this wonderful book of linked short stories back in July and I think it beautifully carries on the ideas Le Guin explored in her own work.

@agt @bookstodon I love that story so much (like so much of her other bittersweet wisdom!) Thankyou for sharing, and reminding me! Also, I'd heard that NK Jemisin had written a response to it, but somehow I hadn't gotten around to reading it. So, if anyone isn't aware, here's a link to that (although we probably want to just read the whole book of short stories it's from 😉)
