What people on Hacker News said
Lathe of Heaven by Ursala Le Guin could quite easily, quite simply be the best first contact story story ever. Touching, and sincere, & simple.
LeGuin's _The Lathe Of Heaven_ and _The Left Hand Of Darkness_. Both taught me there are more ways of knowing (and being) than my scientific brain had realized.
Lathe of Heaven an incredibly beautiful story. One of my favorites of all time.
