pulse 's review for:
The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
by Ursula K. Le Guin
"Here you think the incentive to work is finances, the need for money or desire for profit, but where there's no money the real motives are clearer, maybe. People like to do things. They like to do them well... A person likes to do what he is good at doing. But really, it is the question of ends and means. After all, work is done for the work's sake. It is the lasting pleasure of life."
Reminds me of a college psychology course where a dreary boy derailed a discussion about grades by asking what would motivate kids to study if being held to such arbitrary, stressful standards stopped being an incentive.
While the world burns and poverty widens, this serves as a remarkably inventive and prescient book.
