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).

I was imagining that we'd spend a lot of time critiquing utopias and heading into dystopia, much as you say. And I have to decide whether I can shed my historians' cloak (which would drive me to read Plato and More and the others) or just teach a modern literature class.

Which would be a fun thing for a medieval historian to do.
