Kurz: Queere, bunte, progessive Science Fiction
Teile der deutschen SF- und Fantasy-Szene bleiben mir fremd. Das mag auch mit Aktionen einer umtriebigen Autor*innen etc. - na gut, es sind vor allem Männer - zu tun haben, die sich bemüssigt fühlen, ein "Wuppertaler Manifest" aufzusetzen um die "Unterwanderung" der deutschsprachigen Science Fiction

I’ve seen the answer to this quest…

“Assistive technology is a good thing, of course it is, but you’ve seen so many miracle solutions that are unusable, painful, or exhausting, that work no better than what you’ve learned, perfected, and shared with others, that you’re sceptical. How will they treat you if you can’t use this technology? What if you don’t want it?” Photo is from the screen of my Kobo e-reader.

The image depicts a scene that blends science fiction and dark humor.

The person appears to be a man, shirtless and wearing a white diaper-like garment. He's positioned towards the center of the tank, with his arms outstretched, as if floating or being suspended. Bubbles stream around him, creating a sense of movement and indicating the liquid is being agitated.

In any case, day 2: Ursula K Le Guin.
As I've said elsewhere, part of her science fiction thesis is that "human" can encompass much more than what we mere Terrans think of it as, and that moral standing extends broadly throughout the universe. This is the antithesis of Tokens fantasy, wherein "race" is real and determines moral standing. For Le Guin, it's barely okay to intervene in complex alien politics unless you carefully ensure you're not causing systemic harms; for Tolkien, it's okay to ambush and murder orc children, because they are by nature evil.
Add to her excellent politics Le Guin's masterful worldbuilding and unparalleled range of plots, and you have the one author I loved as a decidedly liberal and naïve teen and love even more now that I'm an adult. She's an absolute legend and deserves a very high place on any list of women authors (or list of authors, period.).
For a short story, try "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" which you can read here: https://www.utilitarianism.com/nu/omelas.pdf
For fantasy "A Wizard of Earthsea" (also has a nice graphic novel adaptation), or for science fiction, "The Left Hand of Darkness" or if you want a more anarchist flavor, "The Dispossessed."
I'll close this with an amazing quote from her:
"""
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
