The Lathe of Heaven is a science fiction novel by Ursula K. Le Guin. It was first published in serial form in the magazine Amazing Stories in 1971, with multiple editions released in both hardcover and paperback thereafter. The novel depicts a dystopian future in which one man, George Orr, is capable of changing reality with his dreams; Le Guin credited fellow sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick as having influenced the novel. Critical reception of the book was mixed, but it was a hit in its genre with nominations for the 1971 Nebula Award and the 1972 Hugo Award. It also won the 1972 Locus Award for Best Novel. Le Guin was heavily involved in the PBS adaptation of The Lathe of Heaven released in 1980, which became a huge hit with fans. A second screen adaptation was released in 2002.
