TFA blurb review
Paradises Lost is a science fiction novella by American author Ursula K. Le Guin first published in 2002 in the collection The Birthday of the World. Set during a multigenerational voyage from Earth to a potentially habitable planet, it follows two members of the fifth generation born aboard the ship as the ship's society responds to the idea of landing on a planet after an extended period in space. The novella explores the isolation brought on by space travel, as well as themes of religion and utopia. It has elements of ecocriticism, a critique of the idea that human beings are altogether separate from their natural environment. Scholar Max Haiven described the novella as "a chastening lesson in both the potential and the perils of freedom", while author Margaret Atwood said that it "shows us our own natural world as a freshly discovered Paradise Regained, a realm of wonder". The novella has been anthologized as well as adapted into an opera of the same name.

 * I've made some tweaks; this is a thematically complex work, so a little vagueness is inevitable, I think...happy to discuss any aspects of it further. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:34, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
