Thanks for the little shout-out, Kyle and amazing writing this week, as usual! Loved your insights on the utopia; there were always inconsistencies I felt about the concept but not could express until I read your piece. There IS a need for utopian realism, and I'm glad you pointed that out, especially because it gives the idea of crafting utopia that makes it just a bit more, well, realistic (lol), and I mean less-fantastical, so hopefully more achievable in our minds (which, like I said last week, is too imagination-poor rn).
Personally I think Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed should be considered a work of utopian realism, and I'm glad I now have a clearer way of describing it to friends when they ask for a book reco! š š š
brilliant work yet again
thank you queen š«”
