Did I understand 100% of the meta-cosmology and physics in this book? No. I am just a simple girl who enjoys a little political allegory every now and then, and a decent bit of this novel went over my head. That being said, it was definitely worth the effort. Leave it to a 50 year old anarchist utopian science fiction novel to present a compelling alternative to capitalism that feels so modern it’s still nearly futuristic. Iconic.

Ursula Le Guin wrote this book about anarchist utopia - where prisons are abolished, and there is no money or property; where everyone is tall, bi and vegan - for me specifically
