This is a brilliant weaving of

This is a brilliant weaving of two minds, with only 1 present. Ursula le Guin is a writer you should know and read whether you're into science fiction or not. Phillip K Dick (who was the spiritual inspiration for Lathe) wrote in a fantastically philosophical manner and with an unnerving clarity about what was to come. Dicks first book, Solar Lottery, turns 70 next year (2025) so it puts his work in a different light, setting I feel Do androids dream.../Bladerunner still feels Not too Distant me. And it wasn't in the 90s, but that ship had very clearly set sale.

Lathe of Heaven feels like a Dickian det of characters with a 3 player battle in the middle, but the more I read the more I see Le Guins fantastically sharp intellect and research show its head. At times I forget who actually wrote it, while other moments its clear as daylight.

And that's not to say Dick didn't compare or use as much deliberate intelligence with his own work, rather he places the reader in the scene and shows you whats occurring, always with a clarity I've admired and fun I've enjoyed. Meanwhile Le Guin can take the same situation and really expand upon it, display it like a fruit, and examine all the leaves and pips and seeds and nutrients.

Both genius writers I would dream of being comparable to, but I just write cute lil sad robot stories so far.

If you like Le Guin have you read Left Hand of Darkness If you're a Dick fan I'll scream a suggestion of Ubik as soon as you possibly can. Both books turned my notion of sf and what it could do on my head. Ubik especially, right as I turned 30 and honestly, naively, thought to myself "Well I know science fiction..."

tldr: Eight hours of my life, gone forever.

If you're looking for an unremarkable nuclear apocalypse/doomsday adventure series which is mild-to-moderately insulting to one's intelligence, a reader can do better than Akart's "Nuclear Winter First Strike," unfortunately the first in a series. It seems Akart writes what he knows. The target audience may be over 50 cis/het white males, far from the book's only shortcoming.

There's a sprinkling of transphobia and normalizing right-wing authoritarian/propaganda of Fox "News" & one of their white supremacist opinion hosts. This may be fine with over a third or more of right-leaning adults in North America, or literate racists as a whole, and repugnant for others.

If you can simultaneously hold your nose while reading, suppress any instinct to vomit, while also ignoring the technical shortcomings, (with a scat-tering of grammatical & spelling failures), and the tragic material which endeavors to approach a middle school reading level, yet ultimately falls short of a YA target audience, then grab the gallon-size Pepto Bismol & read away.

The most important thing in the life of any man is to discover the secret purpose of his incarnation, and to follow it with wariness as well as passion with wisdom, if possible. Astrology has no more useful function that this, to discover the inmost nature of a man, and to bring it out into his consciousness, that he may fulfill it according to the law of light.
