. More wrote this book in 1516! He was 'ahead' of everything except maybe for Gutenberg's Press!
Read the 50 'Reviews' on Amazon. I can't do better than those.
But of course it's an historical accounting of events in England almost 500 yrs ago so it's VERY dated and a bit boring.

It was a very interesting book.
This is perhaps the first "utopian" book. In More's Utopia, private property was abolished, as in Communism. He also blamed an unjust socio-economic system for the existence of crime, just as classical Marxism does.
However, Utopia was also different from modern socialist ideas; all religion was tolerated but atheism was not.
