The Lathe of Heaven

Ursula K. Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven is an excellent short novel that does not feel especially dated, despite being written near half a century ago. The interactions between George, whose dreams affect reality, his misguided therapist Haber, and the outsider Heather feel authentic despite how dramatically reality changes. It was interesting to see how each alteration of reality changed the history and present of George's world, as well as how each alteration reflected the characters' perception of humanity and its problems. I think this one is rightly considered a classic of science fiction, and I hope it finds a readership for many years to come.
