Next exit: Utopia. And it does exist: realized utopias. The world reporters have tracked them down scattered across the globe. Here, they share stories of various small and large breakthroughs and arrivals. Of people who take their dreams and happiness into their own hands despite all obstacles. This is not always easy, but - as this book shows - it is achievable. The increasingly tight-knit principles of a globalized economic order seem to allow for hardly any alternatives and visions. At the same time, the longing for meaning, recognition, and community grows in an increasingly complex world structure. And indeed, they exist: projects and counter-societies where adventurous and bold individuals fulfill the dream of a better life in the here and now on the fringes of globalization.
