 As conditions got worse and worse in the first quarter of the 21st century and dispair became prevalent, a group of scholars and activists decided to accept the challenge to dream up Utopias for their time. The dreamers were seeking to invent likely scenarios whereby human inhabitants of a dying planet could establish societies capable of saving it before it was too late. They created a website to attract other dreamers. They lived on different continents and belonged to different cultures, but the Web permitted them to collaborate at a distance, ​ holding discussions and eventually writing collaborative texts. As conditions got worse and worse in the first quarter of the 21st century and dispair became prevalent, a group of scholars and activists decided to accept the challenge to dream up Utopias for their time.
