The Dispossessed is actually my least favorite Le Guin book, because the rising action/climax disappoints, the characters aren’t as charasmatic as their ideologies, and the contrast betwen anarchism and capitalism is way too simplistic for the storyline. But I have to recommend it because even “bad” Le Guin is very, very good.

Le Guin is a very good author, and this book is one of her best. Detailed and real-feeling exploration of an anarchist society and the experiences of a scientist raised in such being exposed to more archist forms of government.
