In the aftermath of WW1, people all over the world plotted ambitious ways to try and reform society in such a way that conflict on a global scale would never again be possible. To achieve this, they felt entirely new societal structures were required which would grow from small utopian communities.
Anna Neima takes six of these communities from around the world, handling each one in an individual chapter. Despite this broken up approach, one of the most startling aspects of this book is how much personal continuity there were between movements that spread from Japan and India to California. On top of this many of them shared an obsession with Tolstoy and his top-down approach to reform society. I was endlessy fascinated by some of the tantalising visionaries and unhinged looks behind these communities and felt Neima does a superb job in showing how these six remote communities were part of a flawed but ambitious global network.
