I think I’m too stupid for this book.
Took me until about 80 per cent in to understand what was going on.
But some really interesting ideas.
Painting an anarchical society that actually functions is fascinating, and painting it against a capitalist foil allows for a lot of nuance and exploration.
Ursula Le Guin’s writing is also both straightforward and compelling, you can’t stop reading, even when it gets kinda boring.
But it did lose me at points and felt like a bit of a chore towards the end.
