Late to the party, I guess...I had somehow never read this Charlie Mackesy book. Read it today. What a sweet book for all ages!

The Dispossessed is probably my favorite le Guinn book, I need to read the rest of the books in the Hainish Cycle, soon - the Dispossessed covers utopia, anarchy and FTL communications, I highly recommend it.
