Shevek must make the unprecedented journey to the utopian mother planet, Anarres, to challenge the complex structures of life and living, and ignite the fires of change.

I admit to a personal interest in Mrs le Guin's Speculative Fantasist (SF) vision, since I am myself an Anarchist. Indeed, I had never seen the sub-title "An Ambiguous Utopia" until I read this page. I do not think that the book fits into the "Utopia/Dystopia" tradition, but then, le Guin may be taking the Mickey out of us as she so often does.
There is no other book, fictional or otherwise of which I am aware (with the possible exception of Orwell's "Homage to Catelonia") that so clearly demonstrates the practicality of Anarchism as a political philosophy. Indeed, I have lost count of the number of copies of the book that I have given away for this reason alone.
Reading over the other reviews, I hope people don't get the wrong idea. Sure, this is a very smart book that explores the possibilities of anarchy in a serious, philosophical way. But even though those things interest me, didactic science fiction with a MESSAGE is usually incredibly boring. This is not that kind of a sci-fi book. LeGuin writes a story with intelligent, real, flawed characters, and I find myself drawn in every time I go back to the book. Buy it for the story; the philosophy is a bonus if you like that kind of thing. (Of course, if you like zap, blam sci-fi, don't get this book.)
It's the best -- most literate -- utopian novel ever written. Lesen Sie weiter...
