A big thank you to the library at Middle Tennessee State University, who sent it along. So I did what I love to do and went to my friends in the Interlibrary Loan department, who had a copy in my hands before the week was out. Pretty much every one of the books he posted that day spoke to me in some way, but this one most of all. I have to admit I didn’t find this one for myself.Ī few weeks ago, Joachim Boaz over at Science Fiction Ruminations had one of his Recent Acquisitions posts, which are always a good resource for new works of interest or just some great cover art. But Ecotopia gradually unravels everything Weston knows to be true about government and human nature itself, forcing him to choose between two competing views of civilization. Now, this mysterious country admits its first American visitor: investigative reporter Will Weston, whose dispatches alternate between shock and admiration. Rumors abound of barbaric war games, tree worship, revolutionary politics, sexual extravagance. Twenty years have passed since Northern California, Oregon, and Washington seceded from the United States to create a new nation, Ecotopia. Originally published by Banyan Tree Books, 1975 Ecotopia: The Notebooks and Reports of William Weston by Ernest Callenbach
