Finished reading: City Of Illusions by Ursula K. Le Guin 📚

Found it quite hard to get through this one even though it’s got the hallmarks of a page-turner. Maybe because of my distracted state, maybe because of the densely typeset 80s edition I was reading, but also partly because it’s so descriptive in world-building that I didn’t want to skim over anything.

As with much of sci-fi, a critique of colonisation and compartmentalisation of the exploitation and deception carried out in its pursuit. Questions of selfhood and identity and the concept of destiny.
