Description

Apocalyptic futures surround us in our media and popular culture. Yet, award-winning writer Hedley Twidle sets out to find utopia amidst dystopian possibilities. In this thought-provoking collection of essays, she explores forgotten utopias, intentional communities, and islands of imagination with curiosity and hope. From the science fiction of Ursula Le Guin to the 'living laboratory' of Auroville in south India, Twidle investigates the deep human desire to imagine alternatives to what we take as normal or inevitable. Along the way, she recounts her own eccentric adventures, from cycling the Scottish islands to learning to surf in freezing waters. Through her essays, Twidle offers a unique perspective on our collective longing for something more. With humour and wit, she navigates the complexities of human imagination and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
