The book focuses on different uses of the concepts of utopia,
dystopia, and anti-utopia. The author analyses literature, cinema,
and rock music, as well as scientific and legal motifs in utopian
fiction. He also considers the functions of Jewish characters in
early modern utopias and looks at the utopian aspects of scientific
claims of literary and cultural theories. Utopian models are also
applied to the practice of literature (socialist realism) and
current socio-political affairs. Among the texts and films
discussed are "Utopia", "New Atlantis", "Gulliver's Travels",
"Memoirs of Signor Gaudentio di Lucca", "Nineteen Eighty-Four", "A
Minor Apocalypse", "Lord of the Flies", and "Even Dwarfs Started
Small".
