“Ecotopians have the feeling of never being alone.”

This classic read as if it had been written yesterday.
That is beautiful.
That is sad.
Because I could have been living in Ecotopia instead of reading it.

Sexual equality, sustainability, 3D printing, FaceTime, community, guilt avoidance warfare, recycling, solar power, environmental harmony, social justice, and my personal favorite - the revision of the Protestant work ethic.

All the important issues being discussed today were addressed here in the 70s. Ernest Callenbach wrote a blue print to a better world.

Everyone needs to pick up a copy.

Graeme Rodaughan I possibly have poor resolution on my screen, but are those 4 waffle cones, each with a sprig of broccoli, and a red chilli pepper?
