In Ursula K. Le Guin's science fiction novel The Dispossessed, published 1974, mainstream capitalist and state socialist economies on the planet Urras are contrasted with an anarchist self-managed economy on its orbiting twin Anarres.

The story of The Dispossessed is set on Anarres and Urras, the twin inhabited worlds of Tau Ceti.

In the last chapter of The Dispossessed, we learn that the Hainish people arrived at Tau Ceti 60 years ago, which is more than 150 years after the secession of the Odonians from Urras and their exodus to Anarres.

The chapters alternate between the worlds — even-numbered chapters are set on Anarres, odd-numbered chapters are set on Urras.

Anarres is actually the semi-desertic moon of Odo's homeworld Urras.

As far as we know, the only language spoken widely in Anarres is Pravic, though the few people that have contact with Urras ( mostly trade officials and scientists ) also speak Iotic, the language of Urras's dominant nation A-Io.

We do not know whether Anarres and Urras are actually proper Pravic words.

Iotic is spoken in A-Io, a superpower of the planet Urras, one of two settings of the story ( the other one being the sister planet Anarres, where Pravic is spoken ).

In The Dispossessed, Urras is divided into several states which are dominated by the two largest ones, which are rivals.

It also has no words for many common animals found in Urras, such as horses ; for institutions like prisons ; for gambling ( since there is no money or property to be gambled ); for religious terms like " hell "; or, apparently, for verbs like buy.

This is somewhat expounded upon by Shevek, in conversation with the ship's doctor, whilst en route to Urras:

There is, of course, nothing new about dystopias, for they belong to a literary tradition which, including also the closely related satiric utopias, stretches from at least as far back as the eighteenth century and Swift's Gulliver's Travels to the twentieth century and Zamiatin's We, Capek's War With The Newts, Huxley's Brave New World, E.
