Title: Superb study of unintended consequences
Review: This book is a real gem. It is an excellent commentary on how idealists deny human nature and obsessively work to influence and shape social institutions "to make things right," and how their good intentions almost always lead to disastrous unintended consequences. But do they learn from their mistakes? No, they just keep on trying...The Lathe of Heaven should be required reading in this time of political correctness, when so many people are obsessed with equality at all costs. This book shows how bleak such a reality would be.If you enjoy fiction that has strong social commentary (think Lord of the Flies, 1984, Brave New World), then this book is for you. Very highly recommended.
