Editor’s note American science fiction and fantasy writer and professional puppeteer. Her Lady Astronaut novels imagine an alternate 1950s in which a meteorite destroys Washington, D.C., and the threat of runaway climate change pushes humanity into space early. The Calculating Stars, which won the Hugo and Nebula, follows Elma York, a mathematician and pilot fighting the era’s sexism and her own anxiety to become an astronaut; The Fated Sky, about a mission to Mars, rates highest. Read in order.
