->''Imagine a future that works!''\\
Authored by Ernest Callenbach in 1975 and set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture.
We are in the year [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 1999]]. Since 1980, Ecotopia has been isolated, Chinese fashion. Now, finally, an official visitor is admitted. He is [[AlliterativeName Will Weston]], [[IntrepidReporter crack investigative reporter]]. Like a modern [[Literature/GulliversTravels Gulliver]], Will is sometimes horrified, sometimes overwhelmed by strange practices and sensual encounters. He discovers a nation which, in lucky circumstances, has taken charge of its own biological destiny. As Will becomes deeply involved with a sexually forthright Ecotopian woman, [[TheSpartanWay ritual war games]] and a [[LadyLand female-dominated]] "stable-state" government, his confusion of values intensifies and reaches a startling climax. [[TagLine The novel of your future]].
----
!!This novel includes examples of:
* AntiAir: The missiles the Ecotopians used to take down attacking U.S. helicopters.
* AuthorAppeal: Female dominated hippie-esque society, EternalSexualFreedom, mysticist-erotic rituals.
* AuthorTract
* BloodSport: Of the "ritual war game" variety.
* {{Cowboy}}: Working cowboys and {{cattle drive}}s have made a comeback for beef production in Ecotopia.
* CrazySurvivalist: The ruling party in Ecotopia is actually called the Survivalist Party, although they're based more on [[NewAgeRetroHippie back-to-the-land communal hippies]] (which is what people in TheSeventies thought of when they heard the word "survivalist") than the [[CrazyPrepared heavily armed]] {{Right Wing Militia Fanatic}}s commonly associated with the term today.
* DividedStatesOfAmerica: Ecotopia is formed from all of the West Coast minus Southern UsefulNotes/{{California}}, with its capital at UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco.
* {{Eagleland}}: Flavor #2 all the way. There's a reference to an ongoing war in Brazil, and to annual war dead numbering around 5,000.
* EternalSexualFreedom
* GreenAesop: The whole damn book.
* LadyLand: The Ecotopian government is dominated by women.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Marissa is this for Will, introducing and converting him to the Ecotopian lifestyle.
* NoEndorHolocaust: Northern California supplies most of the water that is used by Southern California. Ecotopia, which includes all of Northern California, no longer exports water or other resources. Draw your own conclusions.
** To say nothing of the vast food resources produced by California's Central Valley...
* OurElvesAreBetter / ScrewYouElves: As much as the book is built around its GreenAesop, [[AuthorAvatar Will]] is still not above taking [[TakeThat pot shots]] at the elf-like smugness of Ecotopia's inhabitants.
