This book contained less plot than I am used to and more commentary, but I thought the exploration of different types of societies was interesting. The problems that she highlighted with the capitalist society are still pretty relevant 40 years later, hmm? I preferred this novel to The Left Hand of Darkness. I would have liked the story to continue past the landing on Anarres - was the Hainish man permitted past the wall?
