Introduction
The field of art has experienced tremendous growth and advancement in the way artists present their views to their respective audiences. Art has grown to become a part and parcel of life in that many artists usually have their unique ways of presenting ideas. To some drawings and paintings suffice the need to express their impressions on a certain subject matter. Others have embraced the use of music which comes in form of video or audio. The other type of artwork expression and probably the oldest is through writings.
Whatever the mode of artwork employed by the artist, the society has embraced the use of virtually all the various art methods. Writing is regarded as the oldest form of artwork known which began dates back to the civilization of human beings. Though it started with mere signs, it has evolved to become the widest mode of communication in the modern day world. There are various forms of writings in the modern day world. They include the use of novels, books, articles, drawings and so on. The novels can be further divided in to various categories of fiction, Romance, literature and science. This paper will discuss the utopian vision created by the novel “Walden two” by Skinner.
The Novel
The novel is a science-fiction work by Skinner that presents a utopian vision to the reader. The word utopia has various definitions. With regard to the context at hand it will describe the ideal society. It can also be used to mean a society that did not exist because it could not exist at all. Whatever the definition, the utopian concept always presents a scenario of a non existence society or an ideal society.

This community can e termed as the community of philosophers and which is composed of about one thousand members. The community is planned and the ideal behaviors of the members are presented to be ideal in such a way that the community’s picture is drawn in the mind of the reader. This utopian thinking creates a futuristic ideal community that a society would need.
The Members of the Community
While the community is thought to be the ideal of any societal setting, the members of that particular community usually possess that obligation of shaping the thought of behavior of the community. The novel presents a community where members are self motivated, productive happy and creative. The members also have at their disposal access to various social amenities that act as complements to the already conducive living environment.
