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 would also vote for Pacific Edge; it's one of the few "utopias" that I would actually, wholeheartedly want to live in. (It doesn't hurt that Robinson is one of the best writers working today.)

It is much easier to think of interesting literature about dystopias than about utopias.

Yeah. But I like the idea of pushing students to try and construct an ideal society, and then poking at it.
