Roddenberry's Star Trek was " above all, a critique of Robert Heinlein"

I wish someone had given me Wizard of Earthsea, Left Hand of Darkness, and Lathe of Heaven when I was twelve. Maybe 12 year old me wouldn’t have gotten it all but she wouldn’t have felt quite so alone.

I didn’t read Heinlein or Le Guin as a kid. Le Guin’s who I would have wanted to read.
