====Francis Bacon====
In 1626 Francis Bacon published ''The New Atlantis'', which was essentially a tale of a ship lost in the Pacific Ocean, and by chance comes upon a hidden, advanced civilization on the island of Bensalem. The governor in the story recounts the history of the island's original inhabitants, the history and fate of Atlantis, as well as the scientific advancements in his own land, led by a college Saloman's House. [http://www.constitution.org/bacon/new_atlantis.htm] Although not explicitly named, the concept of an enlightened "utopia" is prevelant in Bacon's work, influencing stories such as James Hilton's ''Lost Horizon'', B.F. Skinner's ''Walden Two'', and James Curney's ''Dinotopia''.
