From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
(More) Any story based on an imaginary Earthly civilization, with the purpose of satirizing or criticizing present social practices, is technically a Utopia, but the term strictly should mean a tale in which the portrayed civilization is a desirable one. Those undesirable are dystopias -- or -- better -- Brave New Worlds. |
