RM's Recs, Ep. 2: Utopias

<p>What would it look like to live in a utopia? Would it be a place where no one has to make any sacrifices or compromises? If so, how would it be possible for its inhabitants to coexist peacefully? Can there ever be a perfect balancing of individual and communal wants and needs? This episode covers the plots and themes in several books that consider these questions and envision the "ideal" society. These different visions of the "perfect world" are then compared and contrasted to the fictional town of Omelas, a place discussed in the episode titled "BTStudy Guide #2: Omelas" and overtly referenced in BTS's music videos.&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hope-jacobson/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/hope-jacobson/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/hope-jacobson/support</a>
