It presents a fine mix of international contributors that culminates in a masterful article from Isabelle Stengers. Here Stengers does for Le Guin what she famously did for the British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead: she shows how to 'think with' this author, how to 'think in SF mode' while engaging the intellectual investments that animate Le Guin's fiction. The other authors in the volume rise to the occasion of the brilliance that concludes it.\"--\u003cb\u003eBruce Clarke\u003c\/b\u003e, Paul Whitfield Horn Distinguished Professor of Literature and Science, Department of English, Texas Tech University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Legacies of Ursula K.
