It's the birthday of one of the greatest science-fiction writers of our time, Ursula K. Le Guin, born in Berkeley, California (1929). She is the author of many classic science-fiction novels, including A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) and The Left Hand of Darkness (1969). Her father was the well-known anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, and she grew up listening to native American legends. She would later say, "My father studied real cultures and I make them up—in a way, it's the same thing."
