This volume incorporates Darko Suvin's thinking on utopian horizons
in fiction and on eutopian and dystopian readings of historical
reality since the 1970s. While the focus is on the United States
and the United Kingdom, the essays also draw on French, German and
Russian sources. The book is composed of eighteen chapters,
including four sets of poems. The chapters include heretic
reflections on utopian fiction, science fiction and utopian
studies, explorations of dystopias, and epistemological
examinations of political standpoint. Throughout, plebeian history
is the stance from which all the author's value judgements are
made. The essays and poems engage with the empirical world and
identify areas of hope. In a dark dystopian time, they reaffirm
eutopia, the radically better place to be striven for in every here
and now.
