Flawed utopia. A city, probably an enlarged Toronto and enlarged Montréal combined, is under a great dome with a germ and virus-free environment and people no longer leaving the city. Little crime or violence. Behind the façade there had been nuclear war and the dome is actually a spaceship; the news of the world outside is manufactured; even though people vote, there is no national government; the Prime Minister is an actor; and Canada is a fiction.

Dystopia. The setting is a military hospital that is run entirely by robots except for one supervisor, who is there to ensure that nothing goes wrong and to adjust settings as needed. The hospital is primarily designed for casualties of all the wars around the world so that the soldiers can return to the front line. Outside the hospital the city's citizens are at war with each other.
