{"product_id":"ecotopia","title":"Ecotopia","description":"A novel both timely and prophetic, Ernest Callenbach s \u003cb\u003eEcotopia \u003c\/b\u003eis a hopeful antidote to the environmental concerns of today, set in an ecologically sound future society. Hailed by the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e as the  newest name after Wells, Verne, Huxley, and Orwell,  Callenbach offers a visionary blueprint for the survival of our planet . . . and our future.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eEcotopia 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: \u003ci\u003eNew York Times-Post \u003c\/i\u003ereporter Will Weston.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkeptical 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53849219957074,"sku":"9780553348477","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_c80e5164-0a94-4d69-9dd0-cb01998a84af.jpg?v=1782503895","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/ecotopia","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
