Until further notice, my favourite short story/essay ever.
You can find the whole thing on Google as a 7 page pdf doc. You can read it in 10 minutes. A strong discussion on utopia. I have written and stuck this on my bedroom wall to reread now and again.

Quotes Liam O'Leary Liked
“Night falls; the traveler must pass down village streets, between the houses with yellow- lit windows, and on out into the darkness of the fields. Each alone, they go west or north, towards the mountains. They go on. They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible that it does not exist. But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.”
