ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Lathe of Heaven" centers on George Orr, a man whose dreams have the power to alter reality. Disturbed by this, George seeks treatment from psychiatrist Dr. William Haber, hoping to suppress his effective dreaming through drugs. However, Dr. Haber discovers George's ability and begins to exploit it using hypnosis and a machine called the Augmentor, believing he can reshape the world for the better through George's dreams. The novel explores the complex relationship between dreams and reality, the ethics of wielding such immense power, and the potential consequences of manipulating the fabric of existence.
