Includes two societies, both with eutopian elements, on a multi-generation starship. The primary society is the one designed for the people on the starship, as modified by the people themselves. It is explicitly eutopian with an emphasis on \"Peace and plenty. Light and warmth. Safety and freedom\" (300). But it nearly succumbs to the religious belief of those who conclude there is nothing outside the ship. At the end, the first group begin to build a new society on a planet, while the second choose to travel forever.

Anthropological science fiction in her Hainish cycle. There are two dystopias, one religious and one scientific and anti-religious. The latter is trying to suppress the traditional culture on its planet, which is centered around the Telling, an extremely complex set of stories that provide a guide to most aspects of life on the planet. This culture is a flawed or ambiguous utopia because the attempts to suppress it meant that it could not incorporate new knowledge and because in the past one part of the planet had used it for power rather than enlightenment.

Human colonial dystopia versus indigenous eutopia. Exploitative colonization that treats the indigenous inhabitants as if they were animals, enslaving them, raping them, and destroying their way of life to ship timber back to Earth, which had been denuded of it. The indigenous inhabitants have a very complex, non-technological life deeply in tune with their planet. No government or overall authority with significant cultural difference among the communities. The women in each community, and the especially the headwoman, and the practical organizers of their communities\’ activities. Some of the men were active dreamers in touch with a different reality.

Eutopia and dystopia.
