Published five hundred years after its first appearance, this anniversary edition of Thomas More's "Utopia" invites readers to rediscover a foundational work of Western political and philosophical thought. More imagines a fictional island nation with radical social, economic, and gender equality: property is communal, education is universal, and peace is the norm, but the text leaves space for deep ambiguity, subtle irony, and social critique.

This edition features a new introduction by China Miéville, situating "Utopia" both as a product of its Renaissance context and a living reference point for contemporary critical and speculative fiction. Four essays by Ursula K. Le Guin further expand upon themes of utopian and dystopian imagination, the contradictions of ideal society, and the lasting influence of More’s model on modern literature, activism, and political discourse. The book is a vital resource for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, philosophy, politics, and social theory, and offers much for classroom and public debate.
