    It's the only explicitly socialist scifi book that I've read and it's beautiful. Would love to know more books like it.

      I can't give you books exactly like the Dispossessed, because Le Guin is Le Guin and nobody is like her, but check out the works of Iain M. Banks, Ken MacLeod and Kim Stanley Robinson.

          The Fall Revolution series, starting with the Star Fraction is an obvious starting point, though I had great fun with the standalone Newton's Wake: A Space Opera, which is really more a satire of transhumanism in many ways than it is anything to do with socialism.

      Walkaway by Doctorow. I don't think he uses the word "socialism" once but it's about an anarcho-communist society
