Reading The Story of Utopias | Alexandria
Read The Story of Utopias by Lewis Mumford. Reimagining paradise as a mirror of human failings, Mumford's The Story of Utopias reveals how idealistic societies often reflect our deepest societal wounds. His counterintuitive insight - that utopias emerge not from hope but from crisis - challenges our assumptions about social progress and eerily foreshadows today's tech-driven promises of perfection.
