“One of the greats….Not just a science fiction writer; a literary icon.” – Stephen King
From the brilliant and award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin comes a classic tale of two planets torn apart by conflict and mistrust — and the man who risks everything to reunite them.
A bleak moon settled by utopian anarchists, Anarres has long been isolated from other worlds, including its mother planet, Urras—a civilization of warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite the two planets, which have been divided by centuries of distrust. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart.
To visit Urras—to learn, to teach, to share—will require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts. But the ambitious scientist's gift is soon seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change.

En av de bästa böcker jag läst. Läs den och se vårt samhälle i ett nytt ljus.

Mycket välskriven bok. Som vanligt av UKLG. Spännande men man får tänka till lite och som läsare/lyssnare blir man inte skriven på näsan. Lyssna på denna!

Ett måste om man är intresserad av science fiction och politisk filosofi. Belyser verkligen hur ett socialistiskt eller anarkistiskt samhälle kan innebära (eller förutsätter) ett normativt helvete.

Ett mästerverk. Det är science fiction. Det är också stor litteratur.

Spännande ”take” på ett framtidsscenario, samhällsideologier och vad som är mänskligt 👍🏼

Oerhört tankeväckande! Borde kanske vara obligatoriskt läsning på gymnasiet?
