July 13. The 21 Balloons

This is the book that gave me a love for future utopian literature.

I hate dystopia. No Hunger Games for me.

But I love a good positive socialist dreamscape. Whether it be Bellamy's Looking Backward or Star Trek: Next Generation marathon, I'm there.

    This is why Star Trek beats Star Wars every time!

    How do you feel about about a dystopian present?

    I've read a few dystopian stories that I loved (the Giver series for one) but for the most part agree with you.

    I honestly didn't know there was a future Utopian genre.

    Like Dona, I'd never heard of a future Utopian genre. I like the idea. Though I am okay with dystopia too. As long as there's an uplifting ending.
