*Dirk. Autocorrect thought it was being funny

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency :

Douglas Adam is better known for The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy

Apparently, this book was revised from an unused Doctor Who story, and once I learned that, I couldn't unsee it. The Hitchhiker's Guide series might be funnier, but I think this book and it's sequel are cleverer. They almost have to be, considering the theme of the interconnectedness of all things! Also, the book is nothing like the recent TV series "adaptation."

Changing Planes :

Ursula K. Le Guin is better known for Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness

Reading through Ursula K. Le Guin's novel *Changing Planes*, I think of how such places might work in magic: the gathering. A plane where everyone shares dreams could create a lotta cool drama, or a plane where genetic editing has gotten very out of hand. Strangely, there is one plane that we kinda have already seen in magic.

In the chapter *Great Joy* we see a plane that has been entirely commodified. Whole islands dedicated to all the different holidays from a very US evangelical perspective.

While not the same, we have seen an entire set dedicated to a theme park in Unfinity, but while a plane spanning theme park is cool, I wonder how much darker Thunder Junction would have been if it more heavily referenced something like Westworld, and it's entirely identity was essentialy a tourism city.

But sometimes when you find yourself at odds with the world, it is the world that has to change.

— ‘Changing Planes,’ Ursula K. Le Guin

I bought new books for the first time in probably a year! I had a cute little coffee/bookstore date with a friend of mine last night, and I walked out with four books, whoops. Frankenstein is for class, but everything else was for me. I'm really excited to read all of these!!

Changing Planes by Ursula K. Le Guin conveys through short stories everything Orson Scott Card wishes he could've written with his novel Speaker for the Dead.

#the anthropology is actually so sensitive and philosophical and human in changing planes #you can really tell that she was raised by an anthropologist #oh and a psychologist!#then again the worst part of speaker for the dead wasn't the aliens but the humans... intentional no doubt #but also bad in an unintended way #anyways it's just really interesting comparing these books since at their heart they're about extra-terrestrial anthropology #and humanity and the similarities that bind living beings #ursula k. le guin #orson scott card #changing planes

“The purpose of our dreams,” says the philosopher Sordja of Farfrit, a strong dreamer of the ancient Deyu Retreat, “is to enlarge our souls by letting us imagine all that can be imagined; to release us from the tyranny and bigotry of the individual self by letting us feel the fears, desires, and delights of every mind in every living body near us.” The duty of the strong-minded person, she holds, is to strengthen dreams, to focus them--not with a view to practical results or new inventions but as a means of understanding the world through a myriad of experiences and sentiences (not only human). Social Dreaming of the Frin -Ursula K. Le Guin
