A science fiction novel by [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]. Subtitled ''An Ambiguous Utopia'', '''''The Dispossessed''''' tells the story of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the planet Anarres, traveling to the world of Urras to complete his work on the theory of time, which would make [[Subspace Ansible|instantaneous interstellar communication]] possible. The planet Anarres, arid and barely habitable, was colonized by refugees from Urras who established an anarcho-syndicalist society there. Urras, by contrast, is a lush, rich world but the two superpowers on the planet, A-Io and Thu, are in a state of cold war. The even-numbered chapters describe Shevek and his family's life on Anarres while the odd-numbered chapters tell the story of his adventures on Urras. |
