The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. It came colorfully wrapped. I said I enjoy scifi and cyberpunk and transhuman themes. This is a huge surprise!

This is kind of the entire point of a gift exchange within an intelligent community like reddit. I feel like a person actually reached out to me.

I can't wait to read this. Thank you muchly, Sarae!

UPDATE just randomly opened a page:

"I felt cut off and cowered inside my own mind obsessed by hallucinations of sight and touch, a stew of wild images and notions, abrupt visions and sensations all sexually charged and grotesquely violent, a red-and-black seething of erotic rage. I was surrounded by great gaping pits with ragged lips, vaginas, wounds, hellmouths, I lost my balance, I was falling . . . ."

won't put down
