An updated and original revision of the utopian theoretical tradition.

Aylin Topal, Middle East Technical University

As a well-known saying in the field of utopian studies, one person’s utopia is another one’s dystopia; and if you want to lessen the gap between the two, it is equally important to concentrate on the necessity of a kind of utopian thinking. An equally broad and egalitarian utopian imaginary can only overcome the dystopian reality. In this contemporary dystopian world in which we all live, studies and critical thought on utopian politics are a necessity for achieving a better world. With Ozan's far-reaching edition, readers will get involved with the relationship between political theory, social class, international law, and utopian literature. In every section of this book, the writers continually remind us that if you do not have a utopia, you are destined to live in your own dystopia. A must-read primer for anyone thinking of the possibility of a better tomorrow.

This interdisciplinary collection will be useful to scholars of utopian and dystopian studies, speculative fiction, and critical future studies, as well as those interested in utopianism, alternative world systems, sf, speculative narratives, and political theory. Its authors once more remind us of the urgent need to rethink utopia in ways that have strong potential to indicate “new possibilities to us” through “other possible societies”
