Shevek is a brilliant physicist from the austerely isolationist and
anarchic planet Anarres working on the Principle of Simultaneity which
could revolutionize interstellar civilization by making instantaneous
communication possible. But Shevek's life work is threatened by jealous
colleagues and so, in the face of intense hostility, he makes the
unprecedented journey to the rich mother planet, Urras, hoping to find
more tolerance there. But the aggressive capitalism of Urras suits him
no better than the anarchism of Anarres and Shevek soon finds himself a
helpless political pawn.
