One short story also has a future Earth that has become an anarchic utopia by means of similar technology as The Neanderthal Parallax features, since a government isn't needed anymore with everyone under knowing and voluntary sousveillance.His book Triggers has humanity becoming a hive mind with the same effect-this is shown explicitly as utopian.The plans are for a new gadget that lets people read each others minds without limit, and it is strongly implied that this will lead to utopia.

Another book features plans sent by aliens. His Neanderthal Parallax trilogy features a society in which everyone wears a gadget that records everything they do 24/7, storing it in an archive that can only be accessed by the person in question, or by the authorities if they have sufficient cause.Aesoptinum: Sawyer has written several books that feature a technological loss of privacy as then leading to a better society.The prosecutor first uses his views favoring abortion and euthanasia to paint him poorly before the Southern jury, then the fact his grandfather was himself a war criminal, claiming he's inherited psychopathic traits and defends them because of it. Ad Hominem: In Quantum Night the main character is called as an expert in a capital murder case by the defense, testifying the defendant was a psychopath and couldn't help killing the victim.Identity Theft and Other Stories (collection of short stories).Relativity (collection of short stories).Iterations (collection of short stories).Flashforward (which spawned a television series).His novels mainly deal with the conflict between science and mysticism/religion.
