4.0

More's writing is very engaging: this work is incredibly ahead-of-its-time with its depictions of pseudo-socialism: however, the progressiveness of the work is undermined by the slightly-too-obvious mocking tone placed on the narrator. In terms of worldbuilding, More is standout: I dreaded reading this, but the second I started it, Utopia drew me in, and was a delight the whole way through.
