Time to Decide: What Are the Best Utopian Books/Series of All Time ?

Last week's poll asked for you to consider outstanding sci-fi books, standalone or series, that grappled with the topic of utopias. As we alluded to, and as many of you noted in the discussion in our facebook group, utopian science fiction can be tough to pin down as inevitably, societies presented at the outset as being utopian have come at a cost we only learn about upon further examination, and almost invariably are dystopians in disguise. Still, it is possible to differentiate between straight dystopian stories and ones centring on a presumed utopia; many tense and thoughtful books have been born via exploration of this theme, and thanks to your nominations, we have a solid list of gems. 

But now, it's time to decide.

There were so many great options submitted, and while last week you were free to vote for as many as you'd like, this week, we'll ask you to narrow down your choice to one selection.  Which one do you think is the very best?
