Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopian saga anticipated climate fiction by more than a decade, sold approximately one million copies and was translated into one dozen languages, and predicted a host of innovations running from C-SPAN to widespread recycling. This edition includes two retrospective essays by the author, as well as an updated foreword by Heyday founder Malcolm Margolin. An important document of utopian ideas from the sixties and seventies, \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Ecotopia\u003c\/i\u003e is also a stimulating read for environmentalists today--one that tells a bold, inventive, and adventurous story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnest Callenbach\u003c\/b\u003e was a writer and editor known primarily for his environmental fiction and nonfiction.
