Professor Kumar's outstanding work mainly concerns the latest phase of Utopia's history; the period since the 1880s. It considers the utopias and anti-utopias of Edward Bellamy, H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and B F Skinner. The final part of the book considers the fate of utopia in the second half of the twentieth century.
