An odd collection, this, in that the first few stories felt very different from the final three, but they're all still excellent. I loved The Rock That Changed Things and Another Story, but my favourite was actually Newton's Sleep which felt very relevant to conversations being had today - to all those tech bros saying we'll just go to Mars when we've messed up earth beyond recovery, Le Guin reminds them / us that we can't do easily escape where we've come from.
