Primarily dystopian with the five stories moving from medieval Scandinavia to the future with some set versions of the nineteenth century. Two themes suggest the possibility of a better world, telepathic people, and the end of sexual differentiation. But the connecting material both supports and undercuts the eutopian interpretation.

Overpopulation dystopia depicting the Sunset Estates retirement home that has twenty million retirees who each get a huge apartment with all the amenities, but there is only one apartment that is shared by all twenty million. This is achieved through the manipulation of space and time, and the home is actually run down and dirty. Other retirement homes, like Happihomes, only provide a bunk. Another is named Endfun, which makes the point. Female author.

Eutopia. The focus of the story is an extended family of eighteen adults living in a future world with a fairly low population. The main technological change is a matter transmitter that allows nearly instantaneous travel to any place on Earth, which means that only some are living together at any one time. The family described values high intelligence, and it is implied that this is the norm. Each person must contribute \"tax labor\" to the Earth community.

Telepathy on a eutopian planet with Earth an authoritarian dystopia.\ Children are considered babies until they are prepubescent, after which they become capable of acting telepathically. They can slow down their maturation, in the case mentioned because the girl wants to develop intellectually.\ Adults rarely talk. In the third section of the novel, the novel shifts abruptly among times and places. In one future Earth, the population has grown immensely, with some cities constructed underground and on and under the sea and few animals are plants remain. Food is manufactured and what plants still grow are contaminated. Few people are literate. People were generally free to do as they choose; drugs are commonly to induce experiences, including death. But there is no organized crime, sex is no one\’s business except for the people involved, people have practically unlimited credit. One couple has traditional gender roles, as defined by the man.\
