Five hundred years since its first publication, Thomas More's Utopia remains astonishingly radical and provocative. More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a citizenry living free from fear, oppression, violence and suffering. But there has always been a shadow at the heart of Utopia. If this is a depiction of the perfect state, why, as well as wonder, does it provoke a growing unease? In this quincentenary edition, published in conjunction with Somerset House, More's text is introduced by multi-award-winning author China Mi�ville and accompanied by four essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, today's most distinguished utopian writer and thinker.

I was disappointed with the content. All the pompus ass types on PBS and in education, politics etc. like to refer to Utopia as some pedistal object. I wonder if they ever actually read it for content.
