You're welcome. I only knew that because I just added Slant to my reading pile. Hope it's good.

Did anyone mention Asimov's Foundation Trilogy? There you have a good plot with a strange society creating a Universal Utopia.

Two examples from Ursula Leguin:
The Left Hand of Darkness as an example of a society which has no sexism.(also a great love story)

The Dispossessed for an anarchist society as utopia.

Going back into the early days of science fiction:
WE by Yvegeny Zamatyin. An early totalitarian utopia and one of Orwells principal influences for 1984.

Left Hand of Darkness is a great read, probably the best sci-fi I have read.
