The Dispossessed

One of the best political SF books, filled with complex ideas and thoughts- certainly one of Le Guin's most accomplished works. I had forgotten the majority of this book (or perhaps never fully realized much of its content) and re-reading this was perhaps an even better experience than the first read.

A masterpiece.

PRIOR REVIEW, NOVEMBER 25 2017:

I'm studying to be a morals/ethics teacher and I'm always dissapointed with the fact that so many scholars/professors dismiss fantasy or science fiction because they're nonsense books or pure escapism. Books like The Dispossessed show how things like philosophy aren't just present in SF/fantasy, but sometimes they're essentially what the book is about!

A must-read, despite (or maybe especially because) it being written from a very different perspective and a very different society than we have now.
