AI-generated generic historical reconstruction of a 1940s California classroom; not a verified Berkeley High School room.

AI-generated symbolic still life representing the writers’ later correspondence and phone calls; not their actual correspondence or possessions.

No readable text, real book titles, logos, people, or claim that this depicts the actual authors' correspondence.” Generated 2026-10-19.

Do not show real people, readable text, school logo, or claim this depicts the actual Berkeley High School. Historical mood, realistic documentary photography.” Generated 2026-10-19.

Урсула Ле Ґуїн і Філіп К. Дік навчалися в Berkeley High School одночасно й закінчили її 1947 року. Ле Ґуїн згадувала, що тоді не знала його імені, хоча згодом жартувала, що вони, мабуть, мусили перетнутися у школі. Уже як дорослі письменники вони листувалися й розмовляли телефоном, але, за словами Ле Ґуїн, особисто так і не зустрілися.
