"The Complete Ecotopia presents, for the first time, an early classic of environmental science fiction in its entirety"-- Provided by publisher

The 40th anniversary edition of the first breakout work of environmental speculative fiction now containing Callenbach'z final work, Epistle to the Ecotopians

"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, the isolated, mysterious Ecotopia welcomes its first officially sanctioned American visitor: New York Times-Post reporter Will Weston. Like a modern Gulliver, the skeptical Weston is by turns impressed, horrified, and overwhelmed by Ecotopia's strange practices: employee ownership of farms & businesses, the twenty-hour work week, the fanatical elimination of pollution, "mini-cities" that defeat overcrowding, devotion to trees bordering on worship, a woman-dominated government, & bloody, ritual war games. Bombarded by innovative, unsettling ideas, set afire by a relationship with a sexually forthright Ecotopian woman, Weston's conflict of values intensifies-and leads to a startling climax.
