Episode description
Hello everyone! Today I bring you another wonderful story from Ursula K. Le Guin. Word for World is Forest, from 1972, a story of violence, imperialism and colonialism.
We go a bit heavier on those, but I still end up considering other points, such as communication, always present in Le Guin. Enjoy!
