"Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have isolated his planet of anarchists from the rest of the civilized universe. To do this dangerous task will mean giving up his family and possibly his life. Shevek must make the unprecedented journey to the utopian planet, Anarres, to challenge the complex structures of life and living, and ignite the fires of change."

“On the Old World there are eighteen phyla of land animal; there are classes, like the insects, that have so many species they’ve never been able to count them, and some of those species have populations of billions. Think of it: everywhere you looked animals, other creatures, sharing the earth and air with you. You’d feel so much more a part.”

[Traducción] “En el Viejo Mundo hay dieciocho filos de animales terrestres; hay clases, como los insectos, que tienen tantas especies que nunca han sido capaces de contarlas, y algunas de esas especies tienen poblaciones de mil millones. Pensá en eso: donde sea que mirés, animales, otras criaturas, compartiendo la tierra y el aire con vos. Te sentirías mucho más 'parte de'.” Takver (The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin)
