A novel both timely and prophetic, Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia is a hopeful antidote to the environmental concerns of today, set in an ecologically sound future society. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as the “newest name after Wells, Verne, Huxley, and Orwell,” Callenbach offers a visionary blueprint for the survival of our planet . . . and our future.
Ecotopia was founded when northern California, Oregon, and Washington seceded from the Union to create a “stable-state” ecosystem: the perfect balance between human beings and the environment. Now, twenty years later, this isolated, mysterious nation is welcoming its first officially sanctioned American visitor: New York Times-Post reporter Will Weston.
Skeptical yet curious about this green new world, Weston is determined to report his findings objectively. But from the start, he’s alternately impressed and unsettled by the laws governing Ecotopia’s earth-friendly agenda: energy-efficient “mini-cities” to eliminate urban sprawl, zero-tolerance pollution control, tree worship, ritual war games, and a woman-dominated government that has instituted such peaceful revolutions as the twenty-hour workweek and employee ownership of farms and businesses. His old beliefs challenged, his cynicism replaced by hope, Weston meets a sexually forthright Ecotopian woman and undertakes a relationship whose intensity will lead him to a critical choice between two worlds.

評分坦白地說這是一本比較枯燥的書。想知道作者對生態的理想狀態是怎麼定義的。 看完後最直觀的感受是生態烏托邦絕對是男性的天堂。因為這裏信奉完全的性解放。他們不會放任自己性濫交。但互相有好感後隻要條件適宜,他們就會選擇用性交來錶達這種好感。書中的敘述者在住院期間就受...

評分在所有偉大的國傢中,中國的曆史循環記憶最為漫長,無數個朝代興衰更替,起起落落。因此,我特彆高興看到我的小說《生態烏托邦》能被譯成中文齣版。即便書中關注的僅僅是一個虛構的小國,我仍期盼它能給中國讀者帶來許多直觀的感受。 我們現在處在一種積極推進工業化的全球循...

I'm so negative that I can't help casting doubts while I'm reading. Surely insightful, but inherently flawed, self-contradictory.
