Book Review – The Utopia Experiment
The Utopia Experiment by Dylan Evans – Picador, $15.99, UK version €15.99
LIFE wasn’t so bad for author Dylan Evans in 2006. He was about to turn 40. He’d a good job at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence research, working in a robotics lab in Bristol. He lived in a cottage he’d bought in the Cotswolds and he’d found a girlfriend he fell in love with.
He tossed it all to one side, however, so he could live in a field in the Scottish Highlands.
Evans wanted to find out what it’d be like to live in a post-apocalyptic world — a real-life role- play where people had to make their own clothes, generate energy and forage for their food.
