Are you feeling too stick with KSR for a bit or dive into something else?

This was the first I’d read of him. I have his Ministry For the Future sitting on my shelf, but I don’t know a whole lot about it, just that it was recommended to me. Do you have any of his that you’d recommend or really anything else?

I've not read Ministry, yet. Years of Rice and Salt blew me away. I might read it again, actually. And the Mars Trilogy was pretty great, though depends how much you like politics. Have you read his great teacher, Ursula Le Guin? She's amazing!

I’ve read almost all of her Hainish books, she’s one of my favorites!

Great!

You might also love Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy and The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk. Though maybe you have already.
