Recenzii
Voyage to Utopias is unique in that it uses well-written fiction to illustrate what the outcome might be if certain social theories were given whole worlds in which to practice, ranging from flawed paradises to sinister dystopias. Perfect for students. Ben Farmer, student
Fitzpatrick's Voyage to Utopias is for Social Policy what Gaarder's Sophie's World was for Philosophy (but it's loads more fun): an outrageous novel to introduce young people to alternative ideologies of welfare. Hartley Dean, London School of Economics & Political Science
Great material for university students, it is an exciting yet educational journey. Sini Wiren, journalism & political science student, University of Worcester
For the twelfth chapter's brief vision of environmental disaster alone the book should be on the reading list of every student of social philosophy. Citizen's Income Newsletter
