During that time, people began to establish small communities called Utopia 1, 2, 3, and so forth. Utopia 239 is a future scientifically advanced flawed utopia of complete freedom, which appears dystopian to travelers from the outside world and some of its own members. The latter establish their version of a better society in New Zealand with government, law, the military, and so forth, creating another flawed utopia. |
