The Ones Who ~~Left for~~ Walk Away From Omelas. A 19-20 page short story about what a "utopia" truly is. (Yes, yes, "we live in an society")
Her non-fiction essays on writing, and reflecting on her body of work are also very good. She was an incredibly forward thinking writer, and one of my favourite authors of all time.
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas*. Not to be pedantic, but that completely changes the message of the story.
Omg not pedantic AT ALL, you're right! Embarrassing mistake, thank you for the correction!
