An interesting comparison of More's "Utopia" could be H.G. Wells version of "A Modern Utopia". In this story, Wells compares many of the same things in society that More does. One of these things is a description of what a Utopian man would look like. His description a Utopian Man doesn't seem to fit the narrator's ideal which is different from some of the images that we find in More's Utopia. It does not seem proven that Wells' Utopia is in fact the Utopia that he desires. Instead, it feels more of a science fiction based story but the similarites of discussion society are the same. Wells'' goes into discussion of economics, education, and religion just like More. The comparison's to More's story are extremely noticeable and I enjoyed reading parts of Wells' "A Modern Utopia" because I could compare the two stories. I found a reliable link to the story online and DARE you to at least take a little time out to the read a passage or two. Here is the link: http://www.online-literature.com/wellshg/modern-utopia/3/
