The book I wish I had written ... It's so far away from my own
imagination, I'd love to sit at my desk one day and discover that I
could think and write like Ursula Le Guin

The Dispossessed paints a hopeful; and complex portrait of a
society rooted in collectivism

exquisite detail ... a fully realised hypothetical culture [as well

culture
This remains a challenging and urgent book

A well told tale signifying a good deal; one to be read again and
again

the writing of prescriptive Utopias for at least 10 years

can be

Remains a thoughtful exploration of politics and economics nearly
50 years later
