How do modern interpretations of 'Utopia' differ from More's original work?

Modern interpretations of Utopia sometimes view it as a critique of communism or as an early illustration of socialist ideas. Others see it mainly as a satirical work that sheds light on the imperfections and injustices of More's own society. While More’s book was a product of its time, its core themes of seeking a better, fairer society continue to resonate, leading to diverse contemporary readings.
