Ok sci-fi fans, what are your favorite science-fiction utopias? I'm thinking about teaching a class on utopias next year, and want to use some reasonably contemporary fiction (as well as Plato, More, Bellamy, Lost Horizon, SimCity, and other stuff).

You could also, of course, show them Fritz Lang's Metropolis and discuss early 20th immigration patterns to the US from Europe & the rise of fascism/total war/communism.

(sorry- will stop commenting in a minute- didn't realize I had as many ideas on this topic as I clearly have!)

I definitely want to bring film into the class. I may show some of Lost Horizon, cause it's pretty and stuff. Metropolis is a great idea.
