The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin is as flawless a novel as they come, and has been correctly heralded as her masterpiece. Le Guin is not fixated on the gadgets of science fiction - but uses the genre to explore what it is the be a human being – and the social structures we create to exist. This novel also features Shevek, a theoretical physicists who is one of the most fully realized characters in fiction. He is the perfect embodiment to explore Le Guin’s world. This novel was a privilege to read.
