All right, so now let's get to our show.

Wired.com presents The Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.

And here is your host, David Barr Kurtly.

Hello, and 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 Hish Cycle, which also includes Rokan's World,

And this will include spoilers for everything in the book, so just be aware of that.

of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Ristlet.
