Not my favorite Le Guin (not by a long shot), but still endlessly readable and interesting.

200 pages of LeGuinn world building and I loved it. Little by little she explores different ways of living and ways of structuring society while also taking a look at the possibilities and downfalls of our own technological advances. Sort of a silly premise but overall it was a fun quick read.
I enjoyed this book immensely. Of course I like most of Le Guin's books, but this one was different than most of the others. It's just fun and easy to read, not so profound as the others.
In many ways it's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in that each chapter tells about another world different from ours. Some stories are thought-provoking, some silly. It evokes Kurt Vonnegut as well as Douglas Adams.
Again, enjoyable.
