Totally fair! I think that Le Guin's 20th century idea of anthropology tends to come through in her books from the 60s and 70s and make me, as a person inhabiting weird anthro/soc spaces academically, uncomfortable and less likely to cut her slack in other places. As for LHoD, heavy Cold War parable aside, I am thinking of the general idea that Gethen has a dictatorship and a mad king and some Daoist prophets in a balance that has been stable, but is rapidly destabilizing at least in part due to climate change, and the Ekumen offers some hope of redress even as it is itself a destabilizing force.
