From The Hunger Games to Ready Player One, visions of dystopia dominate contemporary ideas of the future. But is there room for a more hopeful alternative?

At the Utopia Café we explore alternative ideas of the future through the lenses of literature, film, and other media. We also consider how these ideas can be realised.

In our third meeting, we'll be discussing Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed and exploring what the strengths and weaknesses of different types of utopian societies might be. Don't worry if this is your first meeting as we'll be focusing on the broad themes of the book more than specifics!

Drinks and snacks will be provided. Everyone is welcome. :)

This time we're kindly hosted by Newspeak House!
