[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13657.Changing_Planes):
|
|
|
|
|
Sita Dulip has missed her flight. But instead of listening to garbled
|
|
|
|
|
announcements in the airport, she has found a method of bypassing the crowds
|
|
|
|
|
at the desks, the long lines at the toilets, the nasty lunch, the whimpering
|
|
|
|
|
children and punitive parents, the bookless bookstores, and the blue plastic
|
|
|
|
|
chairs bolted to the floor.

This was the first book of Ursula that I've read, even if I'm used to read
|
|
|
|
|
Scifi from Asimov, Clark and Heinlein. But Ursula is a complete different
|
|
|
|
|
style from those.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Changing Planes" can be described as "she took her dreams and turned into
|
|
|
|
|
stories". It's a story of several "planes" of existence, each with its own
|
|
|
|
|
history, its own culture and its own people. Each is different from the other
|
|
|
|
|
in almost non-overlapping fashion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At first it's kinda weird and uninteresting -- till you realize how much
|
|
|
|
|
creativity one has to have to come up with several different different planets
|
|
|
|
|
and their history.
