    Interesting choices. Tho I hate people putting Utopias into the Science Fiction Genre unless they were written as SF during or after the late 1920's. I'm old fashioned in that I believe SF proper began with the 'American Pulps' such as 'Astounding Stories' &c. Speculative literature began much earlier. And dumping political satire such as 'Animal Farm' into the SF basket really bugs me. This is an attempt by some folks to prove SF is more than just boy fiction writ large.
