Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content, Police brutality, Grief, Sexual harassment, Classism, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Minor: Bullying, Forced institutionalization, Blood, Abandonment, and War
There is a famine in Anarres throughout several chapters of the book, so content note for starvation, food scarcity, hunger. For a bit more: The feeling is not described in detail, but the societal consequences are.
