I really liked the book. At first I was wary of a perfect utopia but it was quite nuanced with problems in each society. I don't feel that Anarres is anywhere near realistic and I could easily see such a scenario devolving quickly, but nevertheless I admit that it's the first communistic scenario I've ever imagined that somewhat enchanted me, and it made me feel that if I lived there I too might actually want to live like that.

I think I read somewhere that that wasn't originally a subtitle. After it started to be referred to as such, it was then decided to officially include it.
