Should a reference to Alphaville be included here?

[edit] More's "Utopia"
The society outlined in More's book is not meant to be his "perfect society." He specifically says in the last lines of the work that he does not agree with everything that goes on in Utopia. In addition, his attached letter to Peter Giles as much as says that he is merely using the piece to "drop pointed hints" about Europena society at the time. More's presentation of his "Utopia" is meant only as a platform from which to discuss social issues. I feel that, as is, this wikipedia article is incorrect and misleading in this regard. Would anyone be opposed to me changing the part about More presenting his "vision of an ideal society?"
[edit] Social science fiction
I wonder what is this genre relation to social science fiction? Can utopian and dystopian diction be classified as a part of Category:Science fiction genres?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 03:25, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Erewhon" is "nowhere" spelled backwards.
No it isn't. Erehwon is nowhere spelled backwards. Ade90212 09:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List Page for Dystopian Fiction
After looking through many pages of movies/novels/short stories/poems that are dystopian works, but not in the short paragraph here, I think a List page should be created listing links to any fiction that has dystopian themes. Any thoughts as to this being a good idea? Gronkmeister 17:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Found a group of lists here, I guess i'll just add these instead. Gronkmeister 17:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
