Accordingly, the idea of a "utopia" or "dystopia" takes on new meaning when cloning, protein "engineering," mining the moon, teraforming Mars, using stem cells, succumbing to a nuclear war, or to a biological weapon catastrophe, have real time relevance. Little wonder our students find future shock normative, and wonder where to turn next for security and sanity aids. A sense of this dizzying "space" is artfully conveyed below, and we who would help others better understand utopian and dystopian notions must spend some reflective time ourselves working our way out of this space. }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={MILOJEVIC, IVANA}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
