@“edward”#p79463 Le Guin’s most direct statement

Well, her most direct statement in the form of a novel... ;)

Anyone read her version of the Tao Te Ching? I'd like to read it sometime and compare against the copy I have (wherever it is...)

I finished Eliza, which, being a game with a few significant choices near the end, allows you to lean into or away from the high concepts it presents at its beginning; that is to say I'm sure there would have been a bit more Lathe of Heaven stuff if I'd stuck with that path, but that didn't seem like what the main character would want (nor||(a)|| is it what I wanted). An interesting companion piece! Might even make more sense to play this first as it's more of a primer on the ideas it presents rather than a lengthy dissertation (something I appreciate about it, it understands its limits and doesn't overstay its welcome).
