Paradise Now: The Story of American Utopianism
by Chris Jennings
Is it bad that, after reading about all these failed utopian efforts, I want to go out and start my own?
Jennings does an excellent job of narrating the histories of the 5 major utopian experiments in the US (Shakers, Owenites, The Fourierisr Phalanxes, Icaria, and Oneida) with surprising wit and charm. I only wish he had delved in deeper about their theologies.
