If one innocent person is tortured so that everyone else can live and the world doesn't end, is that simultaneously unfair but also morally preferable over complete destruction of everything?

    Yes! Becky Chambers is a really interesting one. Her series Wayfarers is really different to most stuff I’ve read.

    I also read Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred, which was amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend it.
