Hi, @agmoore

Your comments on these dystopian books and the utopian reference by the priest Thomas Moros are very interesting. Honestly, I only remember fully reading Moros's Utopia about two decades ago when I was in graduate school. I started reading Brave New World when I was a teenager. So I couldn't give a solid opinion today, nor could I offer a consistent opinion on George Orwell's 1984. Both are on my rereading to-do list. By the way, it's a long list, and it grows every day. Ha ha ha.

Now I'll add "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

On the other hand, you'd have to ask yourself what these authors have in common. I stopped believing in fortuitous coincidences a long time ago. They all drew from the same source. Some consciously, others not (although I doubt it). Social engineering. Forgive me if I become somewhat conspiratorial; nothing to do with the Fabian Society.

Well, let's leave our imaginations alone and read more.

Greetings.
