If its good I dont care if its fiction. Thanks for the recommendation. I know of LeGuin didnt know the book featured anarchism.

It's actually especially excellent because it's very even handed and ambiguous on certain fronts. There are lots of ways you can interpret the society (which I wont spoil) and many of their norms are things which to the average reader have a good chance of appearing repugnant, brutish, or inhumane.

It feels truly like a different sort of society that might actually exist and is deeply sympathetic without being naively utopian.
