The Lathe of Heaven

by Ursula K. Le Guin

A man whose dreams alter reality becomes the unwitting tool of a psychiatrist determined to remake the world according to his own vision. Le Guin crafts a taut psychological thriller that questions the nature of improvement, power, and whether utopia is possible or even desirable. The novel explores moral ambiguity and unintended consequences with characteristic philosophical depth.
