When northern California, Oregon, and Washington secede to form Ecotopia, they create an experimental “stable-state” ecosystem, a society built around harmony with nature. Now, twenty years later, skeptical New York Times-Post reporter Will Weston is the first American invited to witness this green utopia.
Determined to report objectively, Will encounters Ecotopia’s unconventional practices: cities designed to prevent sprawl, strict pollution controls, tree-centered spirituality, and a government led by women that’s pioneered ideas like the twenty-hour workweek. The longer he stays, the more Will’s skepticism fades—especially when he begins a passionate relationship with a free-spirited Ecotopian woman.
Now torn between two worlds, Will must choose: return to America or embrace a radically different way of life?
Will he remain an outsider, or find himself at home in Ecotopia?
