A Utopian society is an ideal or perfect society. Utopia has come to mean a place that we can only dream about, a true paradise, an ideal world. Both utopias and dystopias share characteristics of science fiction and fantasy, and both are usually set in a future in which technology has been used to create perfect living conditions.

Utopian stories are written to explore ideas about how society should or could be.

The idea of a person’s perfect society may conflict and differ with another person’s idea of utopia.
