Utopian Novels

I would like to add my novel Y3K to this list. here is the blurb from the back cover...

Y3K is primarily a look back from the year 2999 at the world’s looming social/ecological crisis from the viewpoint of Max and his extended family; thirtieth century hippie communards. Inspired by my own five years of living communally, the beginning of the book unveils an evolved form of that lifestyle in the old growth forests of America’s Pacific Northwest.

Loosely based on the biblical ‘1000 years of peace’ subsequent to ‘Entropy Gaia,’ the earth’s near death experience, it describes an ecotopian world where society has advanced far beyond war, exploitation and deprivation; where humanity has learned to live lightly on the earth and allowed a natural Eden to regenerate.

However, their hip earthly paradise is under threat—Satan returns—from the very same callous and disrespectful attitudes towards life and the environment that we are dealing with today.

Y3K is a road novel that nearly circles the world. Travel along with Max through a fascinating and flourishing communal movement as he plays his part in trying to protect the world’s forests and counter the destructive new mania for growth.

It has so far had limited distribution. I'd be glad to send a free copy to anyone who is interested, but please check out my website first to be sure it's something you'd like to read.
It's also available on Amazon
Thank you,
Stan Kahn
