Utopia? I hardly KNOW 'eh!

Okay so my answer to this question depends on how realistic I'm allowed to be. On one end of the spectrum I could just say "everyone is happy and healthy all the time and there's no conflict because I say so." and on the other end I would say "I don't have a deep enough grasp of infrastructure/socioeconomics to describe a society that would for-certain be better."
Assuming I'm constrained to modern day tech, but at the same time I don't have to take every single detail into consideration, here's what my Utopia would be: The Great Commune of Shlorpth (named because I like the sound "shlorpth" makes.) There would be UBI (universal basic income) for everyone at/over 18, tax-subsidized necessities (food, water, shelter, education, healthcare.) A reliance on nuclear energy over fossil fuels. Corporations would have elected managerial positions (discouraging the exploitation of workers, because then the person probably wouldn't be re-elected.) Strict laws against corporate lobbying. Checks and balances to ensure that the country doesn't become a dictatorship/oligarchy like the USSR. And a prison system focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment (so no death penalty.)
This would solve a lot of modern-day problems, such as homelessness, worker exploitation, corporate greed, abusive prisons, etc.
What I've described isn't exactly a "true" Utopia, because people still face hardships, people will still probably be jealous of others, still squabble, still get struck by lightning on occasion. But hopefully, hardships on a systemic scale would be eradicated.
Multiple sources show how UBI helps people in various ways, most obviously those in poverty.

My two quotes are A: "There was a time when this conversation would have reduced her to tears, but now she swivels in her chair to look out at the lake and thinks about the moving trucks." since it paints a picture of just how desensitized she's gotten to Pablo's emotional abuse, and B: ""I didn't have any choice," she said. "I was going to be his next wife."" because it really shows how deplorable the prophet is if he was going to force a 12 year old to marry him.

1: We learn a lot about Arthur's life. Where he came from, more of his personality, and his journey with acting.
2: The comic of station eleven appears in both timelines. Along with, strangely enough, a dog named Luli.  Station eleven, on top of being a personal project, seems to offer some escapism to Miranda as she's writing it. I think the parallels to station 11 and the world our characters find themselves in are that most of humanity is gone (enslaved in the comic and dead in the world of the book), and the few people that remain are stuck in a world they can't control (high oceans and an eternal night vs no infrastructure).
3: They find a stowaway from cult-town, Dieter and Sayid disappear, then Sidney. Kirsten and August get separated from the traveling symphony.

1: "I'm a man of my word," Jeevan said. At that point in his directionless life he wasn't sure if this was true or not, but it was nice to think that it might be.  And ...and then one night Jeevan opened his eyes at two a.m. and the news-room was empty. Everyone had left. He stared at the empty room on the screen for a long time. I chose the former because it's a somewhat comforting line, the idea that we're better than we maybe are. It doesn't come across as egotistic/self-serving in my eyes, but more hopeful. Hopeful that you can be a better person. I chose the latter because I can just imagine it so vividly, a slowly dwindling news-source eventually reduced to nothing. It's pathetically miserable, how it just gradually peters out instead of being violently destroyed in its prime via. a meteor or something. Powerless to stop as the momentum carrying civilization is gone. 2: I'm writing the utopia part, so I plan on writing about good infrastructu...

Forget this book, let's talk about Early Modern English!

-It's nice that they have a traveling acting troupe in the post-apocalypse. -I hope Jeeves died. Not because I dislike him, but because it would be narratively interesting. We get to learn about a person: their past, their hopes and dreams, their struggles... only for their story to be cut-short by the virus. -The farther we get from Shakespeare's time the more incomprehensible plays of that time become. "The safer sense will ne'er accommodate his master thus"?? What does "thus" mean in this context? In modern English it's used like "[cause] thus [effect]," you don't just end a sentence with it! And even if thus wasn't there to muck-up the whole line, what does it mean for a safer sense to not accommodate something? My best guess on what "safer sense" means is caution. Like, "Oh I would go play on the highway but I have a safer sense for that." or something. Does this mean that the person doesn't think cautio...
