Description
The Dispossessed, which won all three major science fiction awards, is a novel of ideas which contrasts the imperfect collectivism of the moon Anarres with the imperfect capitalism of planet Urras. It focuses on Shevek, an Anarres physicist, who makes a controversial and challenging visit to Urras to promote his ideas for instantaneous communication between worlds. As you read The Dispossessed, you will be provided with dozens of questions for reflection to help deepen your thinking and stimulate class discussions. Please read the first two chapters before our first meeting.
