The premise of The Lathe of Heaven - a future plagued by the effects of climate change and war, which keeps changing through one man’s dreams – made me want to read it as soon as I heard about it. Something about the concept just really intrigued me! And thankfully the execution works. The constant shifts in the world and the opposition between the man whose dreams determine reality and his therapist, who seeks to fix the world by exploiting him, make this an action packed read. One that I just had to finish in one day. Some of Le Guin’s political statements went over my head though, as they did in The Word for World is Forest.
