Utopia..., David A. Griffith

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

This short story is an attempt to dramatize human relations as the crux of Utopianism. Its science fiction setting has been deemphasized in order to keep distraction at a minimum. The House described in the story may be taken as a symbol of the phalanx - the physical structure - associated with Utopias. The story's focus, however, is on the importance and vulnerability of interpersonal communication in Utopia.
