The Utopian legends of Omelas inspire the whole world.

doesn't ursula k. leguin have a story about "omelas"? or does it predate her story/book

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is an original story by Ursula K LeGuin, but it has inspirational roots in Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov and William James' essay, "The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life"
