All bibles are man-made.
Great ideas originate in the muscles.

Utopia is a work of fiction and political philosophy by Thomas More. The book is a frame narrative primarily depicting a fictional island society and its religious, social and political customs.
There is no private property on Utopia, with goods being stored in warehouses and people requesting what they need. There are also no locks on the doors of the houses, which are rotated between the citizens every ten years. Agriculture is the most important job on the island. Every person is taught it and must live in the countryside, farming for two years at a time, with women doing the same work as men. Parallel to this, every citizen must learn at least one of the other essential trades: weaving (mainly done by the women), carpentry, metalsmithing and masonry. There is deliberate simplicity about these trades; for instance, all people wear the same types of simple clothes and there are no dressmakers making fine apparel. All able-bodied citizens must work; thus unemployment is eradicated, and the length of the working day can be minimised: the people only have to work six hours a day (although many willingly work for longer). More does allow scholars in his society to become the ruling officials or priests, people picked during their primary education for their ability to learn. All other citizens are however encouraged to apply themselves to learning in their leisure time.
Slavery is a feature of Utopian life and it is reported that every household has two slaves. The slaves are either from other countries or are the Utopian criminals. These criminals are weighed down with chains made out of gold. The gold is part of the community wealth of the country, and fettering criminals with it or using it for shameful things like chamber pots gives the citizens a healthy dislike of it. It also makes it difficult to steal as it is in plain view. The wealth, though, is of little importance and is only good for buying commodities from foreign nations or bribing these nations to fight each other. Slaves are periodically released for good behaviour. Jewels are worn by children, who finally give them up as they mature.
Other significant innovations of Utopia include: a welfare state with free hospitals, euthanasia permissible by the state, priests being allowed to marry, divorce permitted, premarital sex punished by a lifetime of enforced celibacy and adultery being punished by enslavement. Meals are taken in community dining halls and the job of feeding the population is given to a different household in turn. Although all are fed the same, Raphael explains that the old and the administrators are given the best of the food. Travel on the island is only permitted with an internal passport and any people found without a passport are, on a first occasion, returned in disgrace, but after a second offence they are placed in slavery. In addition, there are no lawyers and the law is made deliberately simple, as all should understand it. [mehr]

Contemporary/Urban Fantasy

Die Contemporary Fantasy unterscheidet sich von der Historical Fantasy (historische Fantasy) nicht nur durch den Zeitbezug. Die zeitgenössische Fantasy umfasst maximal einen Zeitrahmen vom ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Der Schwerpunkt der meisten Romane liegt aber in einem modernen heutigen Setting, das oft dem städtischen Bereich mit seiner Schnelllebigkeit und seinen Konflikten entstammt. Im Gegensatz dazu ist die Historical Fantasy in einer lange vergangenen Zeit angesiedelt, in der den Mythen noch eine reale Bedeutung und Göttern und Magiern noch eine reale Macht zugeschrieben wird. In unserer Zeit ist diese Macht in der Darstellung der zeitgenössischen Fantasy im Schwinden begriffen und wird von den meisten Menschen kaum bemerkt. Helmut W. Pesch schreibt dazu: Diese Art Fantasy spielt in unserer Realität, in welcher die Magie einbricht – aber in einer Art und Weise, dass sie als damit vereinbar angesehen wird.[1]
Gelegentlich verschmelzen reale und phantastische Welt aber nicht miteinander, sondern berühren sich nur, etwa wenn der Held durch magische Tore oder Rituale in eine Fantasywelt übertritt, wie in der Chronik von Thomas Covenant dem Zweifler von Stephen R. Donaldson oder in Michael Endes Unendlicher Geschichte. Diese Erzählungen und Romane, in denen eine phantastische Welt völlig eigenständig neben der Alltagswelt existiert, werden von manchen Literaturwissenschaftlern und Kritikern nicht der eigentlichen Contemporary Fantasy zugerechnet. Die moderne Welt bildet dabei nur den Ausgangspunkt einer Rahmenhandlung, in der der Held einer Geschichte in eine Fantasy-Welt mit eigenständigen Landschaften, Figuren und Regeln eintritt, die die Alltagswelt nicht beeinflussen.
