A Truly Golden Handbook, A Scholarly Quest For Utopia
What would the ideal society of the future look like? In 1516, the eminent English humanist Thomas More tried his hand at imagining a perfect society on a distant island. His Utopia was published in the Flemish town of Leuven, home of a university that was established almost a century earlier. Five hundred years later, scholars of this university revisit More's best-known work and reflect on the ideal society of the future, using the scientific insights of today, including perspectives that More could never have imagined. From the creation of spare organs, artificial intelligence, and the genetic future, to global governance, ecological sustainability, and pathways to more equality, this visionary book offers a broad interdisciplinary look at the world of tomorrow.
