Line 16: A large number of books by [[H.G. Wells]] [[Aldous Huxley]]'s book ''[[Aldous Huxley/Island\|Island]]''. (His most famous work, ''[[Brave New World]]'' could perhaps be considered a utopia, as the people in that society are certainly happy, but it is more generally regarded by critics as a [[Dystopia\|dystopian]] [[Satire\|satire]], as they actually have no choice in whether they are happy or not.) [[B. F. Skinner]]'s ''[[Walden Two]]'' ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'' by [[Ayn Rand]] ''[[The Dispossessed]]'', a [[science fiction]] novel by [[Ursual K. le Guin]], is sometimes said to represent one of the few modern revivals of the utopian genre, though it is notable that one of the major themes of the work is the ambiguity of different notions of utopia. Le Guin presents a world in which ditches do need digging, and sewers need unblocking---this drudgery is divided among all adults, and is contrasted, in the language of the utopia, with their everyday, more satisfying work. ''[[1984 (novel)\|1984]]'' by [[George Orwell]]. *''[[We (novel)\|We]]'' by [[Yevgeny Zamyatin]] See also [[Utopian/Dystopian Fiction]]
