520 _aUtopia is a place or as it literally means, a no place in Thomas more's Greek Pun, one that does not exist, cannot exist but ideally should come into being as the good place, the utopia. As a place it was located beyond normal life, isolated and secluded the better for creativity and purity free of the miasmas of out polluted world. But form the end of the eighteenth century, in the course of the revolutionary convulsions of the age, it was increasingly imagined as something that could be made to happen more as the good time than as the good place, an euchronia rather than utopia or utopia. Utopia had become a realistic goal in a future that foreseeable or a time that was liner and secular and its location was our entire world, the world inhabited by the human species, whether terrestrial or extra-terrestrial.
