Utopia: History, Culture, Legacy & Literary Connections

A utopia (/juːˈtoʊpiə/ ⓘ yoo-TOH-pee-ə) is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or near-perfect qualities for its residents. The term was coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, which describes a fictional island society in the New World, but some utopian visions predate it.
