“One of the greats. . . . Not just a science fiction writer; a literary icon.” —Stephen King

Ursula K. Le Guin is one of those writers who redefines what science fiction can do. This book isn’t just about distant planets—it’s about ideas: freedom, society, revolution, and what it really means to live ethically.

I chose it for the collection because readers call it one of the most thought-provoking novels they’ve ever read. If you’re drawn to bold, mind-expanding fiction that questions the status quo, this is one worth exploring.
