What Members Thought

Aleix Dorca
I just wish I had read this book when I was younger. It would have caused a greater impact. The political and social part of it, the main part, is great. The rest of the story is only circumstancial and helps set the tone for a 'what's the best system' dilemma. The whole story could be set on Earth on different countries, of course. In view of this, would you say 'The Dispossessed' is really science fiction?

Totally reccomended. One of the genre classics.

5 stars, no doubt.
