The Dispossessed
Le Guin's anarchist utopia novel contrasts two worlds—one capitalist, one anarchist—through the eyes of a physicist traveling between them. Exploring themes of freedom, solidarity, property, and the nature of walls (physical and psychological), it examines political philosophy through science fiction. The work is a profound meditation on society and human possibility.
