NOW can we abolish ICE?

And Babel!! Have you read Babel?

It is, but it's still so fucking good

Over on Reddit someone is asking for science fiction for their precocious young reader and the people there are suggesting books that were old when that kid's grandparents were the same age as the kid, for fuck's sake if you didn't know any SF books from this millennium maybe sit this question out

There's SO much new stuff though that is SO much better. Better writing, authors who believe women are people, authors who are POC even! What a concept
