The second part is an account of a fictional island called Bensalem, which is depicted as a utopian society.In the first part, More describes the society of Utopia, which is a place where there is no private property, no money, and no social class distinctions. The people of Utopia live in communal houses and work together to provide for the common good. The society is governed by a group of elected officials who are responsible for making decisions for the community.In the second part, More describes the society of Bensalem, which is a place where science and technology are highly valued. The people of Bensalem are known for their advanced knowledge in various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and navigation. The society is governed by a group of wise men who are responsible for making decisions for the community.Overall, Utopia Or The Happy Republic, A Philosophical Romance: To Which Is Added, The New Atlantis (1852) is a thought-provoking book that explores the concept of a utopian society. More's writing is insightful and imaginative, and his descriptions of the two societies are both fascinating and thought-provoking.

Thomas More has always been fascinated by Native American culture. As he immersed himself in thoroughly researching the Indigenous people of North America, he discovered that there were very few sci-fi novels featuring people of these cultures as protagonists, and none at all about the original inhabitants of the island of Manhattan. Thus, the idea for the Mannahatta Series was born. Thomas More's favorite genre is science fiction, followed closely by fantasy. He has read hundreds of sci-fi novels and short stories and has spent hours and hours watching movies and television shows in this genre. He holds an advanced degree in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. Although college-educated in the art, craft, and labor of writing novels, he is self-taught when it comes to science fiction and its associated tropes, its readers, and the best of its writers. His favorite pastime is going for long motorcycle rides on city streets, country roads, and beaches (where allowed, of course!). Sample chapters and short stories from his first book are available on the thomasmorewriter site - and you can also search there for information about Native American culture and causes, in addition to a Lenape glossary and the Mannahatta soundtrack.
