Utopian fiction is a fiction genre that explores the ideal and perfect world where all social and political problems have been overcome.
Included in the genre of speculative fiction, Utopian fiction includes stories about society that lives in harmony, freedom, and prosperity.
Utopian Fiction first appeared in the 16th and 17th centuries, with works such as Utopia by Sir Thomas More and The City of the Sun by Tommaso Campanella.
Utopia's concept comes from the Greek, ou-topos which means there is no place and eu-topos which means a good place.
Utopian fiction is often considered a form of social and political criticism, because it illustrates the ideal world that is contrary to the current social and political conditions.

Utopian Fiction is still a popular fiction genre today, with many writers and readers who continue to explore concepts about the ideal and perfect world.
