Synopsis

A brilliant physicist from an anarchist moon colony travels to the capitalist mother planet, challenging the ideological divide between two worlds separated by revolution and conflicting visions of freedom. Ursula K. Le Guin weaves a profound exploration of political theory, individual liberty, and social justice through the parallel narratives of Shevek's journey and his life on the austere world of Anarres. This Hugo and Nebula Award-winning masterpiece examines what it truly means to be free in societies built on radically different principles.
