If one innocent person is tortured so that everyone else can live and the world doesn't end, is that simultaneously unfair but also morally preferable over complete destruction of everything?

Now that you say it - her sci-fi is also up there with the best. Did you find any other interesting female sci-fi authors?

Yes! Becky Chambers is a really interesting one. Her series Wayfarers is really different to most stuff I’ve read.

I also read Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred, which was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it.

Julian May has a great series in two parts, the Saga of Pliocene exiles and the Galactic Milieu trilogy. Amazing books, great story, very moving and thought provoking.
