I'm fairly baffled at how most of these essays fit the concept of critically exploring utopian/dystopian texts. However, Hintz and Ostry's introduction chapter is probably the single best work I've ever seen on the subject, and makes the whole rest of the book worth it. Check this one out from a nearby library and photocopy the intro rather than buy it, I say.
Interesting - particularly Kay Sambell and Monica Hughes chapters.
