Utopias

745.4 WOO-D

Summary: How can we design a better world? This book explores utopianism, but a more tentative, temporary, pluralized and truncated version of the Utopia described by Sir Thomas More's novel of 1516 - 'micro-utopias' rather than one 'Utopia'. It also argues for a metadesign approach that can bring about the realization of individual and social aspirations.
