At long, long last the problems that had besotted the world and humanity for so long like climate change, pollution, equality, or the lack of it, deforestation and poverty seemed to have been solved by the early 2050s. Governments of every political persuasion had bought into this global movement under the inspirational leadership of a genius unequalled in human history. By now very nearly everybody believed that this person was none other 'than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, ' except that is a handful of people on the very margins of this type of society, as they were convinced that 'he was anything but!' Although for a long time they were ignored, that is until this person began marking the people he believed were his own, it was then that things started to change and so began, slowly at first then at a faster tempo, The Unravelling of Utopia!

Reporter Chang Frick grew up dark-haired in a nation of blonds. Ostracized as a child, in adulthood he set out to expose the hypocrisy of Swedish society. When he revealed the cover-up of mass sexual assaults on teen girls at a 2015 music festival, he provoked a chain reaction that rattled the nation. Sweden's elites shirked responsibility and rushed to discredit him. Although Sweden boasts the world's oldest free press, its history of homogeneity and social engineering has created a culture where few dare dissent from consensus, those who do are driven to extremes, and there is no place for outsiders--even those who conform. In this groundbreaking book, investigative journalist Kajsa Norman turns her fearless gaze on the oppressive forces at the heart of Sweden's 'model democracy'. Weaving the history of its social politics with the stories of Frick and other outcasts, Norman exposes the darkness in the Swedish soul.

This study of Janet Frame's fiction addresses with unusual directness the Utopian momentum that underpins her concern with fundamental social issues, traditionally highlighted in existing criticism of her work. The idea behind this book is that Frame's critique of society, while it is offered for its own sake on one level, should not lead us to neglect the author's more speculative interest in an alternative conception of the human person. Her engagement in a species of experimental portraiture proves elusive, though, owing to an indirectness of approach that usually takes the form of thematic circumscription, rather than explicit representation. For example, the figure of the mute child, recurrent in her work, may well testify to a concern with the plight of the mentally ill; but on another level it also points to an envelope of intractable experience which it is the artist’s task to penetrate and explain. Such aspiration is inseparable from the search for a new medium of expression, felt to be necessary if one is to meet the challenge of apprehending the scope of pioneering knowledge. This close reading of the novels reveals that the alternative dimension of experience to be found in Frame’s novels is characterized by an intact capacity for remembering, or for imaginatively re-creating, eclipsed aspects of the present. Frame's view of Utopia thus turns out to be manifold: it is existential and ontological, linguistic and epistemological, but also historical and political. An unravelling of these intertwined strains then serves to clarify the complex question of Frame's post-colonial sensibility, which cannot be said to rely on a sense of rigid identity, whether national or otherwise.

Radical political thought of the 20th century was dominated by utopia, but the failure of communism in Eastern Europe and its disavowal in China has brought on the need for a new model of utopian thought. This book thus seeks to redefine the concept of utopia and bring it to bear on today's politics. The original essays, contributed by key thinkers such as Gianni Vattimo and Jean-Luc Nancy, highlight the connection between utopian theory and practice. The book reassesses the legacy of utopia and conceptualizes alternatives to the neo-liberal, technocratic regimes prevalent in today's world. It argues that only utopia in its existential sense, grounded in the lived time and space of politics, can distance itself from mainstream ideology and not be at the service of technocratic regimes, while paying attention to the material conditions of human life. Existential Utopia offers a new and exciting interpretation of utopia in contemporary culture and a much-needed intervention into the philosophical and political discussion of utopian thinking that is both accessible to students and comprehensive.

Henry VIII., the unconquered King of England, a prince adorned with all the virtues that become a great monarch, having some differences of no small consequence with Charles the most serene Prince of Castile, sent me into Flanders, as his ambassador, for treating and composing matters between them. I was colleague and companion to that incomparable man Cuthbert Tonstal, whom the King, with such universal applause, lately made Master of the Rolls; but of whom I will say nothing; not because I fear that the testimony of a friend will be suspected, but rather because his learning and virtues are too great for me to do them justice, and so well known, that they need not my commendations, unless I would, according to the proverb, "Show the sun with a lantern." Those that were appointed by the Prince to treat with us, met us at Bruges, according to agreement; they were all worthy men. The Margrave of Bruges was their head, and the chief man among them; but he that was esteemed the wisest, and that spoke for the rest, was George Temse, the Provost of Casselsee: both art and nature had concurred to make him eloquent: he was very learned in the law; and, as he had a great capacity, so, by a long practice in affairs, he was very dexterous at unravelling them. After we had several times met, without coming to an agreement, they went to Brussels for some days, to know the Prince's pleasure; and, since our business would admit it, I went to Antwerp. While I was there, among many that visited me, there was one that was more acceptable to me than any other, Peter Giles, born at Antwerp, who is a man of great honour, and of a good rank in his town, though less than he deserves; for I do not know if there be anywhere to be found a more learned and a better bred young man; for as he is both a very worthy and a very knowing person, so he is so civil to all men, so particularly kind to his friends, and so full of candour and affection, that there is not, perhaps, above one or two anywhere to be found, that is in all respects so perfect a friend: he is extraordinarily modest, there is no artifice in him, and yet no man has more of a prudent simplicity.

Do the needs of the many really outweigh the needs of the few?Following the United States' total economic collapse, two oppressive regimes vie for control in a hauntingly realistic dystopian future. Thomas, a contented commoner, believes he has found the perfect life in the United Socialists of America (USA)-until fate sends him to an enlightenment center for crimes against society.After a life-altering event at the center, Thomas encounters those who witnessed the nation crumble before their eyes. Listening to their stories, he discovers the dark and chilling history behind the downfall of the United States and its fragmentation into two totalitarian states-one embracing socialism and the other clinging to the twisted pseudo-capitalism that led to the devastating economic collapse.Along the way, Thomas gains new and unique perspectives on the complexities of freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, socialism, capitalism, fascism, and the eternal struggle between safety and freedom. Ultimately, he is forced to question, "Do the needs of the many really outweigh the needs of the few?" The Greater Good is the story of Thomas' attempts to find an answer.However, The Greater Good isn't a tale of socialism triumphing over capitalism or vice versa. With the relentless accumulation of personal data, destruction of privacy, and a shift in the philosophy of rights, both nations reveal sinister violence and oppression lurking beneath a facade of peace and prosperity, threatening to ignite a devastating war.The Greater Good transcends partisan politics, delivering an unflinching critique of collectivism and serving as a cautionary tale about the seductive allure of someone else's "greater good," which all too often conceals despotism, prioritizes the ends over the means, and sacrifices future generations for present desires.
