Shevek's work promises a breakthrough that could alter the course of human civilisation, but to realise it, he must journey to Urras: a planet dazzling in its beauty and advancement yet fractured by hierarchy. Though initially welcomed by this unfamiliar civilisation, Shevek soon finds himself caught between competing visions of freedom, a bridge - and a threat - to both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the conflict that ensues, he must reexamine his beliefs, even as he ignites the fires of change.
