"A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at." --Oscar Wilde


Utopia is the name of a fictional society created by Sir Thomas More as a satire on his own, European, society; by extension, it has come to represent all ideal societies, real or imagined. There have been many fictional utopias created before and after More's 1516 book; it can safely stated that there has never been a true utopia in the real world.
