Suggest books about Utopias?

Earlier today I asked a question about George Orwell's "1984" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" which are both books I own and am planning to read. Both of these books have to deal with dystopia futures; after I finish reading these I want to goto the opposite extremes and read a book or two about Utopias. I read "The Giver" in school which was a phenomenal book.

One of the books I may get is Aldous Huxley's "Island" which sounds like it's about a utopia. Thank you. Asked by JDiPierro 61 months ago Similar questions: Suggest books Utopias Society.

Here's a list of books and other media relating to Utopias. "Walden Two" is a pretty interesting book, and a good read when you consider it was written by a scientist. And of course, there's "Utopia" by Thomas More, which I haven't read but was the first book I thought of when I read this.

Here's an ebook of that one: gutenberg.org/etext/2130. Sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia#Examples_of... .

These involve utopias and are also light reading. The following books take place in Utopias, though the plot may not be primarily about the utopia itself. _Beyond This Horizon_ by Robert Heinlein: "All of them should have been very happy-" THEIR problems were solved: the poor they no longer had with them; the sick, the lame, the halt, and the blind were historic memories; the ancient causes of war no longer obtained; they had more freedom than Man has ever enjoyed.

All of them should have been happy- This wasn't one of Heinlein's classics, but it's good never the less. _freehold_ by Michael Z. Williamson: Sergeant Kendra Pacelli is innocent, but that doesn?

T matter to the repressive government pursuing her. Mistakes might be made, but they are never acknowledged, especially when billions of embezzled dollars earned from illegal weapons sales are at stake. But where does one run when all Earth and most settled planets are under the aegis of one government?

Answer: The Freehold of Grainne, the only developed system that belongs to neither the UNES nor the Colonial Alliance. There, one may seek asylum and build a new life in a society that doesn? T track its residents?

Every move, which is just what Pacelli has done. But now things are about to go royally to hell. Because Earth?

S government has found out where she is . . .

The freehold is a utopia, and much of the book takes place in this setting. _Uglies_ by Scott Westerfeld: Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license -- for turning pretty.In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time.

In just a few weeks Tally will be there. Part one of a 2 book series. Came to mind because it was mentioned in another unrelated answer.

1 My thoughts: As a genre in fictional literature, Utopias or Utopian turn to Dystopia or Distopian, as the story develops - ideals that are offered to the reader are alternative ways to look at societies through the character's eyes, and then, reflect on our own opinions, of the world around us - whether historically or modern-day. You will find many subject headings for Utopian books, but the sci-fi or otherwise, the reader is taken to another world to explore, learn or escape the real one. Excellent question!

Answer: Read The Giver, Gathering Blue and then, The Messenger, by Lois LowryA must-read for young adult readers and up, is The Giver, by Lois Lowry, and the story continues in Messenger (although, the Library of Congress summary states, "In this novel that unites characters from "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue," Matty, a young member of a utopian community that values honesty, conceals an emerging healing power that he cannot explain or understand....(and, from the publisher's notes) Strange changes are taking place in Village. Once a utopian community that prided itself on its welcome to new strangers, Village will soon be closed to all outsiders. As one of the few people able to travel through the dangerous Forest, Matty must deliver the message of Village"s closing and try to convince Seer"s daughter to return with him before it"s too late.

But Forest has become hostile to Matty as well, and he must risk everything to fight his way through it, armed only with an emerging power he cannot yet explain or understand.

He is in 4th grade, and was fascinated by Captain Underpants.

What books would you suggest I look into to learn about the investment field.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
