Journal Entry 1 by Fire-Dragon from San Francisco, California USA on Saturday, February 16, 2008

From the back cover: The Principle of Simultaneity will revolutionise interstellar civilisation by making possible instantaneous communication. It is the life work of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the arid anarchist world of Anarres.

Shevek's work is being stifled by jealous colleagues, so he travels to Anarres' sister plant Urras, hoping to find more tolerance there. But he soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game.

A novel by one of the century's very best science fiction writers at the height of her powers.

Journal Entry 3 by AnonymousFinder on Monday, August 25, 2008

brilliant, what a good book. I didn`t want it to end but I still read it in about a week and a half (even though I had many things to do and am not the fastest reader). I recommend it to anyone who likes philosophy or has ever thought about society in a critical way, its complex and very relevant as well as being a beautifully written story full of human character and set in a deeply and thouroughly imagined futuristic world that is so reminiscient of ours and speaks of deep human meanings and purposes.
Beautiful, profound, easy to read, exciting... I don:t know what more to say except that I think its the first book that almost made me cry at the end not because it was sad or full of loss but because it felt so deep and meaningful...
