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).

Since you asked

Adiamante by L.E. Modesitt
I liked this one, in some ways it is a "realistic" utopia

for some interesting, but unrealistic utopian ideas:
The Probability Broach by L. Neil Smith (a libertarian utopia)
The Truth Machine by James L. Halperin (The invention of a "infallible lie detector" leads to utopia through the surrender of privacy)

I happened to discover these two books in the same month. An interesting contrast of extremes.
