Introduction: Fool's Gold -- Definitions, Debates and Conflicts -- Religious Fundamentalism -- Feminism and Gender -- Sex and Sexual Identity -- Climate Change and Catastrophe -- Human Attitudes to Nature -- Green Intentional Communities -- Fantastic Architecture: Dubai -- Domestic Architecture: New Urbanism and Cohousing -- Computer Gaming -- Cloning, Cyborgs and Robots -- Conclusions -- Notes -- Appendi -- List of Primary Sources -- Bibliography --.

What's wrong with the world today and how might it become better (or worse)? These are the questions pursued in this book, which explores the hopes and fears, dreams and nightmares of the 21st century. Drawing on examples from architecture, fiction, theory, film and experiments with everyday life, Sargisson explores contemporary hopes and fears about religion, gender, sex, the environment and new technologies. The book asks, is the search for utopia a quest for Fools' Gold? Its answer is 'yes' and 'no' and Sargisson identifies a number of different kinds of utopian impulse. Some utopias offer blueprints for the perfect world. Others are experiments in process. Some utopianism is dangerous, even toxic. Some utopianism is playful and fun. Some utopianism seeks actively to change the world. This book teases out examples of these and other types of utopianism which both shape and reflect our world today.
