One of the very best must-read novels of all time – with a new introduction by Roddy Doyle’A well told tale signifying a good deal; one to be read again and again’ THE TIMES’The book I wish I had written … It’s so far away from my own imagination, I’d love to sit at my desk one day and discover that I could think and write like Ursula Le Guin’ Roddy Doyle’Le Guin is a writer of phenomenal power’ OBSERVERThe Principle of Simultaneity is a scientific breakthrough which will revolutionize interstellar civilization by making possible instantaneous communication. It is the life work of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the arid anarchist world of Anarres.
