Ecotopia
The Notebooks and Reports of William Weston
Book • 1990
In 'Ecotopia', Ernest Callenbach imagines a society that has achieved a perfect balance between human beings and the environment.
The story follows William Weston, a reporter from the United States, as he visits Ecotopia twenty years after its secession.
Weston is impressed and unsettled by Ecotopia's earth-friendly agenda, which includes energy-efficient mini-cities, zero-tolerance pollution control, tree worship, ritual war games, and a woman-dominated government.
The novel explores themes of sustainable practices, decentralized energy production, green building, and a highly localized system of universal medical care.
Through Weston's experiences, the book presents a vision of an alternative, ecologically sound lifestyle that challenges the consumerist and materialistic values of modern society.
