Utopia Realized: In Search of a Just Society is a story of amelioration. John Matthews is a janitor in Scranton, Pennsylvania and he is on his way to work. He talks to his wife, Kirstin, as he drives to work. He is exhausted and weary from his difficult and long days and the two discuss their economic and other systemic troubles. John never sees Tara, a security guard with her own struggles, when she loses control of her car and barrels into him on the Scranton highway. John wakes up into a foreign world where a guide named Sophia shows him a new and different world. The world is called Amoena Vieta and Sophia shows him a vivid and exciting society there that has reimagined language, government, basic rights, transportation, religion, economics, education, legal system, media, taxes, and other aspects of their world. All systems described eliminate or largely mitigate the constant social problems that exist in his world. John awakes in the hospital after being near death. The couple discuss making his dream a reality.
