found it quite slow / hard to get into but got far more invested in the last ~100 pages. not sure how much the politics resonated with me overall but i appreciated the nuance

Ursula K. LeGuin can do no wrong, IMO. I swear I highlighted half of this book. “An ambiguous uptopia” really sums it up.

this book is a philosophical treatise in a science fiction trench coat. one of the first books ive gone in and marked up in a while. love the point she comes to about revolutionary movements needing to remain adaptable and fluid, and the importantance of balancing individual will with collective need.

Another sci-fi classic from one of the greats. In some ways, a more traditional story than The Left Hand of dlDarkness, but ultimately as revolutionary an experience to read. Ursula K LeGuin's books have a tendency to stay with me for months if not years afterwards.
