Ursula K. Le Guin has been a favorite here since we read the first Earthsea novel, so it’s no surprise that she keeps winning our polls. This month we’ll be taking a look at Le Guin’s The Lathe of Heaven.
Here’s the summary:
A classic science fiction novel by one of the greatest writers of the genre, set in a future world where one man’s dreams control the fate of humanity.
In a future world racked by violence and environmental catastrophes, George Orr wakes up one day to discover that his dreams have the ability to alter reality. He seeks help from Dr. William Haber, a psychiatrist who immediately grasps the power George wields. Soon George must preserve reality itself as Dr. Haber becomes adept at manipulating George’s dreams for his own purposes.
The live-streamed discussion of The Lathe of Heaven will occur Friday, February 28th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. We’ll see you there!
