The Dispossessed
Ursula K. le Guin
This thought-provoking book delves into the themes of isolation, political rebellion, and the search for universal knowledge. Shevek, a brilliant physicist, embarks on a dangerous journey to challenge the status quo of his anarchist planet and tear down the walls of hatred that have separated his people from the rest of the universe. As he questions the unquestionable, he must be willing to sacrifice everything, even his own life, to create radical change.
