Our March meeting of Bright Futures will be discussing The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

The Book:

Through his dreams, George Orr can make alternate realities real - but who is controlling him?War rages and global warming wreaks havoc on the quality of life everywhere as seven billion people jostle for living space and food.

For George Orr, a mild and unremarkable man, the world is overwhelmingly difficult. But George is different: his dreams can change reality - although he has no means of controlling this extraordinary power. Psychiatrist Dr William Haber offers to help, directing George to dream a world without racism.

But as ambition gets the better of ethics, no one can predict the devastating consequences.
