Part science-fiction, part manifesto, part political satire... Utopia was a fascinating read.
I am not quite sure of this book's context in a historical sense, but the text itself was very interesting.
The first half (of this admittedly quite short book) was a bit of a slog for me, and it took a dozen pages or so for me to find my flow with reading the old English of the 1500s.
Once that clicked it made for much smoother reading, and going into the second half, the description and world-building of this Island of Utopia, had me far more engaged.
4 stars
Additional note; the Everyman Library edition of this book is beautiful. Very well put together little hardback
