Alright so now let's get to our show.

Hello, it's welcome to episode 460 of Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing Ursula K. Le Guin's classic 1974 novel The Dispossessed

and Ambiguous Utopia.

The Dispossessed, which won the Hugo, Nebula and Locust Awards, is part of Le Guin's
