Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The dream of a good or perfect society is as old as mankind. But 'utopia', the specifically literary expression of this dream, was invented only in 1516, by Sir Thomas More. From that time onwards, utopia has been a compelling form for the expression of the hopes and fears of western society.This book is mainly concerned with the latest phase of utopia's history: the period since the 1880s. It considers the utopias and antiutopias of Edward Bellamy, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and B.F. Skinner. Science and socialism, their promise and their dangers, are the central themes of these works. The final part of the book considers the fate of utopia in the second half of the twentieth century.
