A same-sex love story told by one of the individuals after the other has died, although the man’s memory is not reliable. It is set in an overpopulated future where same-sex relationships are encouraged, men and women are, to some degree, kept separate, and, as the story puts it, “mixed up the genders,” although the story does not include any of the last.

While the novel has the same main protagonist and a central concern is, as with the others, corruption at the heart of an Edinburgh supposedly modelled on Plato’s Republic, the city has been opened to tourists, and there are plans to reunite with the other city-states that comprise the future Scotland. A sequel set in the same time period is Skeleton Blues. Sutton, Eng.: Severn House, 2016, in which the protagonist is fighting the usual corruption, but the novel ends with a successful revolution. The next novel in the series, Impolitic Corpses. Sutton, Eng.: Severn House, 2019, is set in the post-revolution future with Scotland reunited and reformed, but there is still corruption, greed, and struggles for power.

ER - TY - ABST T1 - Healer Y1 - 1976 A1 - F[rancis] Paul Wilson (b. 1946) KW - Male author KW - US author AB -

The central volume of the author’s series the LaNague Chronicles. Mostly science fiction adventure, but it includes a “neo-anarchist” eutopia, more accurately a libertarian eutopia with “a bare minimum of public institutions: police, judiciary, penal, and administration” (79). In the author’s introduction to The LaNague Chronicles. Ed. and sequenced by the author. New York: Baen Books, 1992, he says that his ideas were inspired by Ludwig Von Mises (1881-1973), the Austrian economist who lived and worked in the U. S. from 1940 and Murray Rothbard (1926-1995), a U. S. member of the Austrian School of economics and one of the founders of the von Mises Institute, or, as Wilson puts it, “a rational anarchist, an advocate of laissez fire, a radical capitalist” (viii). In the introduction, he characterizes the LaNague Federation as encouraging “any type of society, no matter how bizarre or crazy the philosophy at its core. . . . With a single proviso: free egress must exist at all times. Anyone who wants to opt out of that society must be allowed to do so” (viii-ix). Other volumes in the series include: “Wheels Within Wheels.” Analog Science Fiction--Science Fact 88.1 (September 1971): 8-49; rev. as Wheels Within Wheels: A Novel of the LaNague Federation.

Feminist eutopia composed only of women, mostly clones but with a few new genotypes still being created, confronts men returning from a long space voyage. The eutopia came because an epidemic caused widespread infertility and no male babies were born. It has a small population and is without hierarchy or government and, while it has space travel, it is based more on agriculture than technology. The three men include an extreme chauvinist, a Christian who believes that God established a patriarchal system, and one man who struggles to understand and accept the situation.

This work describes the basics of National Credit Control, in which paper currency and coins are replaced by a credit card system. Any economic activity not considered in the public interest is outlawed and refused credit card privileges. Although there are some variations, the eutopia is fairly consistent between the first three works published in 1956 and the last published in 1990. This pamphlet discusses farming, which is treated as any other industry, more than his others. Taxes are not levied on farm property or commodities but on produce as it is distributed. In 1957 the author ran in the Canadian federal election as a candidate in Regina, Saskatchewan for the National Credit Control Party, a party of his own creation. His purpose was to publicize the monetary system he developed. See “J.B.

Detailed nonfictional eutopia with the emphasis on its sexual and economic foundations, but the whole is presented as an experiment. The author argues that a good society needs very energetic people and that will require reformed sexual and economic systems. Sexually energy comes from restraint, and he proposes two types of marriage, one that is strictly monogamous and one that is not, although with the possibility of moving between the two. Economically, capitalism must be eliminated together with private ownership of land and replaced with a form of guild socialism. The word "Hopousia" is derived from the Greek for where. There is an "Introduction" (13-29) by Aldous Huxley, who argues that while the basic institutions are sound, the approach is overly simple.

The novel is mostly concerned with the trials and tribulations of its main protagonist, an intelligent but poor man, and is an attack on the dystopian of the contemporary capitalist order. But the novel also suggests, without going into detail, that a literal unification of the human race is necessary to being about a better life. As Bertrand Russel puts it in his “Introduction,” "It may be that the complete organic unification of the human race, which Mr. Britton regards as the ideal, is the only way in which a scientific civilisation can survive. It is, at any rate, practically certain that it cannot survive while the anarchism of private profit” [x].

The eutopia that is possible through a series of reforms, particularly in land use and the application of science to agriculture. Argues that to bring about change, it is necessary for them to be considered outside the realm of party politics. As a result, party politics is only allowed four days a month, and government is essentially by a non-political ministry. The Board of Agriculture was reconstituted as the Agricultural Department with a statistical department, a research bureau, and other bureaus studying conditions in England and throughout the world. Experimental Farming Stations were established in every county. Farming as a business. Intensive farming. Heavy use of artificial fertilizer. Written as from 1930.

Feminist eutopia focusing on trial marriage set in the US. The Commonwealth of Columba existing in an isolated valley has developed "handfasting" or trial marriage.

In Columba it can be extended to two or three years and marriage cannot take place without it. Generally an egalitarian society. See also 1884 and 1888-89 Spence.
