“One of the greats….Not just a science fiction writer; a literary icon.” – Stephen King
From the brilliant and award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin comes a classic tale of two planets torn apart by conflict and mistrust — and the man who risks everything to reunite them.
A bleak moon settled by utopian anarchists, Anarres has long been isolated from other worlds, including its mother planet, Urras—a civilization of warring nations, great poverty, and immense wealth. Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite the two planets, which have been divided by centuries of distrust. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart.
To visit Urras—to learn, to teach, to share—will require great sacrifice and risks, which Shevek willingly accepts. But the ambitious scientist's gift is soon seen as a threat, and in the profound conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs even as he ignites the fires of change.

The narrator is slow and dull. He manages to make an erotic scene as dull as all the party politics and academic backstabbing. The entire book is written to suit the male perspective: the main character's lifelong partner seems to have no agency outside of her relation and use to the main character. Disappointed; Le Guin must have been revolutionary in her time. At this point (2023) it's outdated. The world is slowly moving past communism and kapitalism and anarchy as she describes it.

A mind-blowing, brilliant story, ever present, a masterful and courageous outlook into the depths of humanity.

I couldn't follow the story because of the narrator. Needed to stop after a couple of minutes.
