The Dispossessed — Ursula K. Le Guin
I went into a local bookstore looking for anything nonfiction from Ursula K. Le Guin and all they had was this book. Little did I know how immediately I'd be sucked in. A thought experiment on possession, freedom, scarcity/abundance, community... perhaps my favorite dystopian novel. Just WOW. Forever changed.

“Definitely on the heavier side, but so optimistic, and I found it impossible to put down. I like Le Guin’s fantasy, but this blew my mind. Lovely writing, wonderful characterization, so thoughtful and human and hopeful.”
Henry DeMarco
“Best and most important work of science fiction and it isn’t even CLOSE. Le Guin runs circles around every other sci-fi writer and actually knows what it means to be human”

“When people say we are living in unprecedented times, I’m going to send them to this book (from 1974)”
