The Telling - Ursula K. Le Guin
I picked this up because I've enjoyed some books by Le Guin. I haven't read others in the Hainish series, though, so maybe I didn't get as much out of the book as I could have. I thought it was OK but seemed pretty formulaic, with the beautiful traditional culture full of knowledge being crushed by a modern corporate-technical culture. No real exploration of that, just a black-and-white dichotomy.
