Book Reviews of Nowtopia: How Pirate Programmers, Outlaw Bicyclists, and Vacant-Lot Gardeners are Inventing the Future Today!

Book Review: Nowtopia Nothing New
Summary: 1 Stars

NowTopia is more pop-junk-culture chicken-fat-schmeer, out for a buck, and this time next year will sell for 25c with front covers ripped off. Read Ecotopia, read Tilth. "Topiate" movement is 38 years old, two generations, since the first urban garden, the first rainbow tribe hippie commune, and even older than that, a basic rehash of Victory Gardens and CCC. OK, it's great to ride your bike to work and grow your own garden, even as the US$ money supply triples. You're playing Nearer My God to Thee on the Titanic! When Carbon Cap & Trade taxes Labor back to the Stone Age, then NowSolace?
