A new series, folks. I watch a lot of movies and TV shows and I read a lot of books. So I'd like to do some reviews here. Not so much in the direction of good and bad and "x out of ten" voting, but rather under the aspect of what parts are interesting or unique in the sci-fi and fantasy world.

But of course, I'd directly like to dive into the topic with a concrete example. Ursula K. Leguin, The Dispossessed. I finished this book from 1974 some weeks ago as it is on almost every sci-fi must-read list I know. Before that, I knew LeGuin only from her fantasy work "Earthsea".

The book includes incredibly fascinating speculative fiction that is not dominated by tech topics as usual. Instead, it focuses on social aspects. If you ever wanted to know what Anarchism in its pure form really means and how it is related to communism and capitalism, this book might be more helpful than any piece of theoretical work.

It was eye-opening to me in that regard.
