The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin


Just released from award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin – the beautifully redesigned and eerily prescient novel that is a must read for any science-fiction fan!

THE LATHE OF HEAVEN

 Written in 1971, Le Guin paints a world thirty years in the future with global warming crises, overpopulation, malnutrition, and violence in the Middle East.

Sound strangely familiar?

When George Orr discovers his dreams have the ability to alter reality and then tries to fix a civilization at the brink of extinction by nuclear war, everything becomes dangerously unpredictable…

Praise for The Lathe of Heaven:

“When I read The Lathe of Heaven as a young man, my mind was boggled; now when I read it, more than twenty-five years later, it breaks my heart. Only a great work of literature can bridge – so thrillingly – that impossible span.” —Michael Chabon
