I know these lists are subjective, but if you're producing a "must read" sci-fi list which has only two women on it and neither of them is Ursula Le Guin, 80% of them weren't written this century, and some are so very famous they hardly need any more publicity then really, what's the point?
Not sure I'd include Orson Scott Card or Robert Heinlein these days either 😬
I could go on forever about all the must read sci-fi that isn't on here.
