Utopian fiction is a style of fiction that takes place in an idealized world. The author of a utopian novel sets their narrative in a world that aligns with their broader ethos and personal philosophy. This does not mean that utopian works are free from conflict. – definition.

In this case the author (Dan Levy) has set a world free from racism and homophobia. This aligns with his broader ethos (liberal and progressive). It is a work of fiction but it’s a utopian work. This article is about whether such posturing should be encouraged given the high levels of privilege experienced by the author. Is a rich white celebrity the best person to create such a world? And what implications does that have for voices that are missed when you centre power in these types of voices.

I’m sorry you think it’s drivel, but the article is written in a provocative style to encourage debate and engagement – and it has. This is pretty standard for the way I write my articles. You’ll see from the comments that people both agree and disagree with me the way you have. And so they should in a pluralistic society. :o)
