As always I love Le Guin. And this must be one of my favorites, although I didn't know what to expect going into it.

It was filled with social critique (and probably critiques of some sci-fi authors that I didn't recognize). This was immensely creepy, and most of it came down to the values in our own society. Some stories were on the other hand heartwarming.

Loved it! Would very much like to live in a reality where I can change planes, at the very least it would make the interminable waits for connecting flights more interesting. Back to the book, every chapter has such interesting premises, and the snippets of the different cultures were extremely well developed and flushed out. I went into the book knowing nothing, and I encourage you to do the same. 

Personal favourites (in order): The Nna Mmoy Language, The building, Social Dreaming of the Frin, The Fliers of Gy
