Changing Planes by Ursula K. Le Guin

4.0

I picked this book up on a whim, mostly because I loved Le Guin's Earthsea series. What a gem! It was surprisingly witty and clever. The main character describes a series of planes (of existence) she's traveled to, as doing so has become common practice in her time/world. You get the feeling that most of the planes describe events that could happen to us, like genetic experimentation gone horribly (sometimes hilariously) wrong, and wars that lead to the de-evolution of the inhabitants. Le Guin could have easily turned each of these chapters into its own book.
