@floppyplopper@todon.nl @LauraC_rter@scholar.social both great books, and part of the reason I feel weird leaving her out) - I'd personally go for Left Hand of Darkness - but can you really imagine any of these being a go to answer for "I've never read any Sci-Fi before, what would you recommend?"
Earthsea would absolutely be on a Fantasy version
Omelas would be a near certainty for Short Story...

@penwing@wandering.shop @floppyplopper@todon.nl yeah, the issue with general lists is that my initial answer to your question would be, "yes of course, what kind of books do you like reading?" Because my 'intro to sci-fi' list will be different depending on if the person says 'detective novels' or 'romance' or 'biographies of WWII generals.''
