Description
Most utopias are based upon one or more foundations, with education, law and religion being the most common, with of course interesting shifts in dominance over time. * Here, I look at another or, arguably, two others: science and technology. Any serious scholar of science fiction will say that the attitude to science and technology in science fiction is ambivalent at best and always has been. The question in the broader utopian tradition has been less studied, but much of the scholarship has stressed the positive role of science and technology in utopianism. In Utopian Thought in the Western World (1979) the Manuels correctly identified a strong pro-science stream in early utopianism, and Nell Eurich in her Science in Utopia: A Mighty Design (1967) noted a positive scientific utopianism. In The Dreams of Reason: Science and Utopias (1961), Rene Dubos has done much the same, as has Howard P. Segal in Technological Utopianism in American Culture (1985). But Dubos recognizes that it is not that simple, and Segal also wrote Future Imperfect: The Mixed Blessings of Technology in America (1994). (1)
