Sir Thomas More
The name of this fictitious place, Utopia, coined by More, passed into general usage and has been applied to all such ideal fictions, fantasies, and blueprints for the future, including works by Rabelais, Francis Bacon, Samuel Butler, and several by H. G. Wells, including his A Modern Utopia.

To human minds accustomed to such a material and monetary way of life , of course all of this sounds as the machinations of a lunatic, but it is true that humans are not able to mentally bear and resist the detrimental works that money and power exert upon the mind.
Hate this, scorn it as much as you want, but remember that Plato once said, "No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth."
With that being said, I'd like to commend the outstanding performance of this audio book, both from the author and the narrator, to any person looking for material worthy of their time and investment.
One of the truest works in all.

That said, the utopia Moore envisioned was not in any modern sense perfect, but there are many attractive elements to it. If nothing else, it reveals many flaws, cruelties, and absurdities of his era (some continued to this day), and is provocative in ways that remain relevant. Oddly enough, Moore’s Utopia retains slaves, death penalties, and other loathsome practices that one might think inimical to a perfect society. Am glad I picked up this valuable classic.
Stunningly provocative

I couldn’t overlook that Sir Thomas More finds a place for slavery and prescribed gender roles in his imagined ideal life style…
Still, I find that Utopia remains a source of inspiration after more then 500 years of its writing.
Very good performance of James Adams in reading this boik.
500 years old inspiration
