This story has a bit of bittersweet aftertaste. The world is still very much imperfect, but how does one decide the level of imperfectness that is acceptable? Orr personally seems better off than in the beginning of the book at least. And there is hope for him and Heather. I'm glad she appeared at the last page.
The world was changed so much and so many times, that at some point I gave up trying to keep up with the changes. I'm still not sure I understand Haber's plan. Partly, of course, because Orr's subconscious mind interfered, but also, I suppose Haber himself got lost in all the realities and didn't have a clear idea any more. That's why he almost erased the world completely as soon as he got the power to do so.
It's my first sci-fi by Le Guin and I'm looking forward to read more.
