Utopia Noun a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions; an impractical scheme for social improvement Utopia written by Sir Thomas More English statesman and author. Since More's time, utopia has come to mean "a place of ideal perfection." The word comes from the Greek: οὐ ("not") and τόπος ("place"). The English Homophone eutopia, derived from the Greek εὖ ("good" or "well") and τόπος ("place"), signifies a Double Meaning: "good place" and "no place". Synonym: never-never-land, nirvana, paridise Antonym: dystopia

It's a nice place to live, but it's no Utopia.

Dystopia Noun an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives; an imaginary place where people are unhappy and usually afraid because they are not treated fairly from Greek: δυσ-, "bad, ill", and Greek: τόπος, "place, landscape" Synonym: Anti-Utopia Antonym: Utopia

Stories have been set in Asia, Russia, Nigeria, a future dystopia, wartime London, and 19th century New Zealand. In the science fiction novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradburry, the main character Guy Montag lives in a dystopia of the future.
