Utopia

 

A new look at civilization in this political satire and fiction from 1516, Utopia tells about an island where life seems idyllic, but the way it is written is although extraordinary for the 16^th century readers as an original idea, not so marvelous for me from the 21^st century.

As Utopian and Dystopian are commonly understood as a look into social and political structures, More’s book is only loosely based on this definition of the concept, and was not interesting to read. Some things just feel and are outdated.

I'm sorry, but sometimes I just gotta be straight to the point and say that I did not like something, without dwelling too long on arguments or reasons as to why that seems to be the case. After all, it is impossible to like everything in life, and Thomas More's Utopia happens to be a boring read.
