<b><b>With a new introduction by Kelly Link, the </b><b>Locus Award–winning science fiction novel by legendary author Ursula K. Le Guin, set in a world where one man’s dreams rewrite the future.</b></b><br><br>During a time racked by war and environmental catastrophe, George Orr discovers his dreams alter reality. George is compelled to receive treatment from Dr. William Haber, an ambitious sleep psychiatrist who quickly grasps the immense power George holds. After becoming adept at manipulating George’s dreams to reshape the world, Haber seeks the same power for himself. George—with some surprising help—must resist Haber’s attempts, which threaten to destroy reality itself.<br><br>A classic of the science fiction genre, <i>The Lathe of Heaven</i> is prescient in its exploration of the moral risks when overwhelming power is coupled with techno-utopianism.
