George Orr is a man who discovers he has the peculiar ability to dream things into being -- for better or for worse. In desperation, he consults a psychotherapist who promises to help him -- but who, it soon becomes clear, has his own plans for George and his dreams.

The Lathe of Heaven is a dark vision and a warning -- a fable of power uncontrolled and uncontrollable. It is a truly prescient and startling view of humanity, and the consequences of playing God.

"...[P]ractically a primer in Taoist thought."

Douglas Barbour, Algol, November 1973

"[This] is a beautifully wrought [novel]....The author has done some profound research in psychology, cerebrophysiology and biochemistry, and is familiar with some very recent findings in the field of dream research. In addition, her perceptions of such matters as geopolitics, race, socialized medicine and the patient/shrink relationship are razor-sharp and more than a little cutting."

Theodore Sturgeon, National Review, 02/04/1972
