Ursula K. Le Guin (October 21, 1929 – January 22, 2018) was a prolific writer best known for her Speculative Fiction novels, although she also wrote poetry, nonfiction, and young adult novels. Her works often explore cultural, sociological, ecological, or feminist themes; anarchism and Taoism also occasionally shows up subtly (she was probably the best-known Western Taoist and wrote both a commentary on and translated the Tao Te Ching) or, in the case of The Dispossessed, not so subtly (Anarres is an anarcho-communist society; but then again, the subtitle is An Ambiguous Utopia, and a central theme of the work is that Anarres has decayed in the years since its founding due in no small part to ideology and bureaucracy replacing revolutionary fervour). Her works have greatly influenced modern Fantasy and Science Fiction authors, with systems, words, and ideas from her works showing up so often that some have become tropes in and of themselves. One of these was her coining of the word ansible, which has appeared in numerous scifi works since.
