You stay anonymous with all that hate, the rest of us will keep civilization afloat.

Seriously, Nancy Kress?

I gotta go with you on the Nancy Kress nominee. A spacefaring disease that floats through space as a spore cloud is a stretch. You need to start with panspermia or convergent evolution to even start to think about it. Then there is the whole traveling interstellar distances and it targeting compatible worlds.

Note I am biased, I haven't cared for her work since Beggars in Spain, which also completely broke suspension of disbelief.
