The concept of the book and the details of Ecotopia were very interesting and I loved learning about the ways ecotopia functions. It felt like there were some very well-thought out aspects of their inventions and way of life. However, I really didn’t like the main character/narrator. Maybe he was meant to sort of suck as an American but I found him very chauvinistic and the details about women were often weird and overly sexual. The ending also was not good. It was a weirdly abrupt “happy ending.” And I didn’t like that there wasn’t really a plot it was just essays.
