Unlike most utopias, Walden Two is set in the present, in an intentional community. It also is openly aware of utopias from Plato and More through Bellamy, Butler, and Morris. Skinner proposes actual experimentation, but allowing for freedom of movement in and out of the community. However, he proposes this society also expand to include all humanity, which hurts that last proposition. Also, Skinner assumes there can be government without power games.
