Two young men, Raoul and Niko, who have little in common other than
their isolation, escape across a wall of mist from a town about to
become a crazed utopian experiment only to encounter a series of
dreamlike dystopias, apparently in parallel. Perhaps unconsciously
Utopia reflects the key themes of the generation coming of age: the
environment, the impossibility of finding a job, the fragmentation
of society, a troubled hedonism. The novel is also highly original
and contains cubes, corridors, robots, biological columns (a
metaphor for the constraints the system places on us), an ugly
green and sensitive woman born out of a huge flower - and as in
Botticelli's Birth of Venus the west wind blows gently into her
hair - and many other powerful imaginings.
