- MrTonyD 8y agoYou forgot Lost Horizon. Or maybe even some of the "end of the world" books (eg. Alas Babylon where they create a more simple world.) But both those books are severely flawed if trying to think about real possibilities, though I enjoyed both of them.
- ghosthamlet 8y ago1933, Lost Horizon, James Hilton, i forgot it, I have seen the Lost Horizon movie, but not the book, it must be a beautiful book.
- dragonwriter 8y agoNot saying these are the best, but they probably should be in consideration: 1948, Walden Two, B.F. Skinner 1975, Ecotopia: The Notebooks and Reports of William Weston, Ernest Callenbach
