Prospero’s Staff: A Utopia is a forthcoming novel by Thomas I. White that combines an engaging science fiction mystery with utopian speculation.
Written in the spirit of the classic utopias that stretch from Plato’s Republic through Thomas More’s Utopia to Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s Herland, Ursula LeGuin’s The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia, Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time, and Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia, White’s novel is a direct challenge to modern humans’ most cherished assumptions about ourselves and our societies.
