Abstract

“Every time needs its utopia(s). A society that no longer reflects its development is uncanny, a monstrosity. However, utopian speculation is rather dubious today. In recent years the very notion of progress and the ambition to project a future has itself come to be regarded as monstrous. Utopian thinking seems naïve, dangerous hubris” [1].
