remember there was another book with what appears to be an alien with features rearranged in a Picasso like manner, and I only got far enough into the book as a child to learn that it involved demi-human domestic workers that were, for all appearances, normal young women, but would age rapidly if their employers "succumbed to temptation". I have no idea who wrote it or what it was called but it's tickling my memory and doesn't SOUND like a Leguin book.

Could be one of Cordwainer Smith's Instrumentality of Mankind books? I don't remember the "gently caress them and they die" bit though.

The pbs adaptation of this hosed my poo poo up for a week of lit classes before the holiday break in seventh grade. Great story but Christ, teachers; put on Edward Scissorhands if you want to make kids have feelings while quietly nursing your hangover in the dark.

It's just filled with the same racists as imgur. Imagine, a website with information on the origin of 'we wuz kangz', 'it's okay to be white' and 'dindu nuthin'

Now throw a comment section on those pages.

It's a shame this wasn't released a week later. It could spend all year as the meme of 2020, but now it will only spend a week as the meme of 2019.
