I'm re-reading Eines Menschen Flügel by Andreas Eschbach. It's about a society started by refugees from a far future civilization, and because touching the ground is deadly, modified their children to have wings.

I re-read the book every few years, because it describes essentially a utopian society and I find it very inspiring, while also just being interesting.
