Ethics are pushed to the wayside when scientific advancement is on the line. 

HoloBionTech will send its field agents anywhere to investigate the new and unexpected developments of both the natural world and man’s hubris. Sometimes their projects advance society, sometimes quite the opposite. These seven accounts, recently liberated from HBT’s archives tell the stories of both the manipulators and the manipulated.

Currently wrapping up my first read of “The Left Hand of Darkness”. Like many Le Guin novels, it focuses more on social and interpersonal metaphor. It’s fascinating the depth she went in building a society of humans that isn’t based on a dichotomy of male/female interaction. Highly recommend. 📚💙🪐
