Interesting, if typically uneven, description of an ideal society; like all such thought experiments, more compelling as a social document than as a narrative. Prefigures communism and Unitarian Universalism; certain passages, I'm convinced, the Marquis de Sade must have used for Justine, though characteristically inverted. It's too bad More and de Sade couldn't have met, I'd imagine they'd find a lot of common ground.
