"In terms of concepts of human involvement with the ecology, as well as some of the economic and social concepts, the Ecotopia books are related to what is known as the sustainability movement. Callenbach's Ecotopian concept is not "Luddite" he does not reject high technology, but rather his fictional society shows a conscious selectivity about technology. In Ecotopia ecologically compatible high-technology exists alongside postmaterialistic attitudes and lifestyles. As an example, with its emphasis on personal rather than impersonal interaction, Callenbach's Ecotopian society anticipates the development and liberal usage of videoconferencing. " (from Wikipedia).

Octavo (17.75cm); illustrated card wrappers; yellow edge-staining; [viii],213,[3]pp. PInpoint wear to extremities, some faint, scattered dust-soil to rear wrapper, with subtle tanning to text edges; a bright, Near Fine copy.Callenbach's self-published first novel, and ecological utopia now referred to as "the novel that predicted Portland." "Callenbach could not find a publisher for his book in 1974, and was told that it was neither a novel or a tract. "Somebody said the ecology trend was over," he says. "I was on the point of burning it." But he persevered, collecting small checks from friends to pay for 2,500 copies to be printed" (Vaughn, Jacqueline. Environmental Politics: Domestic and Global Dimensions, p.316). Callenbach presents a vision of the future, 19 years after the northwestern U.S. has seceded, as viewed by an American reporter visiting and relaying his observations. "Appropriate technology, environmental concern, improved relationships, concern for the common good, natural recycling, decentralization, willingness to use those machines which are useful but will not harm the environment, cooperation, and careful planning have led to a society not yet utopian, because of external and internal threats, but well on the way" (Lewis, pp.36-38). As with the Banyan Tree edition, the mass-market Bantam edition was reprinted dozens of times. Lewis, pp.36-38; Sargent, p.161.

Octavo, cloth. First edition. The hardcover issue of Callenbach's self-published first novel. "Nineteen years after the northwestern United States has seceded, an American reporter visits the new land and describes what he finds. Appropriate technology, environmental concern, improved personal relationship, concern for the common good, natural recycling, decentralization, willingness to use those machines which are useful but will not harm the environment, cooperation, and careful planning have led to a society not yet utopian, because of external and internal threats, but well on the way. The influence of E. F. Schmaker, Barry Commoner, and others of the Small-is-Beautiful recycling wing of modern society is obvious." - Lewis, Utopian Literature, pp. 36-7. ECOTOPIA "expressed on paper the dream of an alternative future held by many in the movements of the 1970s and later." - Wikipedia. "This is perhaps the most important modern addition to the tradition of Bellamy's LOOKING BACKWARD ." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-207. The sequel is ECOTOPIA EMERGING (1981).
