ENGL 25700 Dystopian Literature: Problems with Perfection

GE-Human Culture: Literature War, hunger, oppression—how can we fight these things? Humans have quite often thought they could build a perfect world, a world in which everyone would have enough, not too much, a world in which everyone would get along and respect each other’s space, a world in which there would be no need for crime, class divisions, or even currency. These worlds, however, turn upside down in the face of human nature. In this class, we will explore the problems with a perfect world. Would we even want one?
