"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is a 1973 work of short philosophical fiction by American writer Ursula K.
But when I met it in James' 'The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life,' it was with a shock of recognition." The quote from William James is: ==Publication and analysis== Le Guin's piece was originally published in New Dimensions 3, a hard-cover science fiction anthology edited by Robert Silverberg, in October 1973.
"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Short Fiction in 1974 and won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1974. ==Plot== The only chronological element of the work is that it begins by describing the first day of summer in Omelas, a shimmering city of unbelievable happiness and delight.
It was reprinted in Le Guin's The Wind's Twelve Quarters in 1975, and has been frequently anthologized elsewhere.
It has also appeared as an independently published, 31-page hardcover book for young adults in 1993. It was republished in the second volume of the short-story anthology The Unreal and the Real in 2014.
