Ecotopia
"Ecotopia was founded'ca'cawhen northern California, Oregon, and Washington'ca'caseceded from the Union to create a "stable-state"'ca'caecosystem: the perfect balance between human'ca'cabeings and the environment. Now, twenty years later,'ca'cathe isolated, mysterious Ecotopia welcomes its first'ca'caofficially sanctioned American visitor:
New York'ca'caTimes-Post
reporter Will Weston.
Like a modern'ca'caGulliver, the skeptical Weston is by turns impressed,'ca'cahorrified, and overwhelmed by Ecotopia's strange'ca'capractices: employee ownership of farms and'ca'cabusinesses, the twenty-hour work week, the fanatical'ca'caelimination of pollution, "mini-cities" that'ca'cadefeat overcrowding, devotion to trees bordering'ca'caon worship, a woman-dominated government, and'ca'cabloody, ritual war games. Bombarded by innovative,'ca'caunsettling ideas, set afire by a relationship with a'ca'casexually forthright Ecotopian woman, Weston's'ca'caconflict of values intensifies-and leads to a startling'ca'caclimax.
