• Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness
takes place on the planet Gethen, where the inhabitants are androgynes who can become either male or female during their fertile period.• In Kate Wilhelm's Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang: A Novel
cloning is developed to save the human race after the environment has been destroyed.• CJ Cherryh's Cyteen
is "about domination and slavery, the monsters power makes and the twisted lives of the children born to perpetuate the dynasties" with genetic engineering and cloning central to the story.• Kathleen Ann Goonan's Light Music
is "a tour of the consequences of Lynn Margulis's radical thinking on evolution. This is how we could see ourselves if we weren't Darwin's slaves: every self a community, every human being a symbiote city, a node in the richly permeable network of life on Earth."Read Jones' entire list.

Wow! I've been looking for a link like this! I have my own blog, The Writer's Daily Grind. You can find it at

Furthermore, my WIP is science fiction, and the science fiction is biological/evolutionary. And I'm female. I don't expect that I will ever achieve the status of Ursula Le Guin, a writer I very much admire. But I'm out there writing. And I try to be scientific. So I'm really happy I found your blog!
