Every age has its utopias, from Plato's Republic to contemporary sci-fi visions. In this spellbinding anthology John Carey charts the course of every conceivable dream world, combining a broad historical sweep with lively variety. The Faber Book of Utopias encompasses some noble and selfless schemes, but the history of utopias is also spine-chilling in the trail of folly and tyranny it uncovers.
