How Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Lathe of Heaven' and Kim Stanley Robinson's 'New York 2140' are giving me cool dreams to consider during quarantine.
. So maybe the first step to a different kind of reality, a different kind of future, is to dream a different dream., I’ve also turned to one of Le Guin’s many students and successors, Kim Stanley Robinson. Like Le Guin, Robinson’s sci-fi is informed by a deeply empathetic worldview; neither of them are quick to give up on humanity. But Robinson’s stories are set a lot closer to Earth than Le Guin’s are.
Things don’t go as planned: for them, for William Haber, or for us. But it’s nice to think about transformation in a way that’s not entirely bad. As I languish inside my apartment trying to make sense of the rapidly deteriorating world around me, these two dream machines have at least given me better ways to think about a changing world.
