“A rare and powerful synthesis of poetry and science, reason and emotion.”—New York Times “Gracefully developed...extremely inventive...what science fiction is supposed to do.”—Newsweek “Le Guin neatly and eerily conveys the bad-dream civilization which is George's everyday world.”—Washington Post Book World “Profound. Beautifully wrought….[Le Guin’s] perceptions of such matters as geopolitics, race, socialized medicine, and the patient-shrink relationship are razor sharp and more than a little cutting”—National Review Many dream of changing the world. But George Orr's dreams do change it—for better or for worse. Made desperate by this unsought power, George consults a psychotherapist who promises to help him. But it soon becomes clear that the scientist has his own plans for George and his dreams. Why not, after all, forge a brave new world—one free from war, disease, overpopulation, and all human misery? But for every man-made dream of utopia, there is a terrifying, unforeseeable consequence; so George must dream and dream again, forever seeking a more perfect future as the very essence of cosmic reality begins to disintegrate. Ursula K. Le Guin is widely recognized as one of the greatest science fiction writers in the history of the genre. She has won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards on several occasions, as well as many other honors and prizes.
