Ecotopia – the book – the underground legendary classic

I am green art by Darren Daz CoxThe book ECOTOPIA by Ernest Callenbach (1975)( ISBN 0-553-10489-6 ) is a favorite of mine, I found it in a used book shop many years ago and re-read it every few years, luckily my memory is anti-eidetic when it comes to literature which allows me to enjoy novels over and over!

Ecotopia is a fast paced sci-fi story extrapolating the environmentalism movement and it’s quest for a political and cultural solution. This book is more than just a poetic guess based on an a current trend though, it is solid research, suggestions and solutions and fun. This book just gets more and more relevant as the years go by.

This available as free e-book download but has been removed. I’m sure you can find it though!

“Human beings will be happier – not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That’s my utopia.”

 Kurt Vonnegut

  1. I haven’t quite got down the art of reading extended works on computers. I’m an old-fashioned girl that way – I LIKE holding books in my hands, and I take comfort from the books that line the walls in my dining room / library…

  2. Hi Mrs. Chili, This might be a good one for your students to read and discuss!
