Utopia Drive

I've always been completely fascinated with utopias, and I've secretly longed to join one or start one. I'm a natural reader for this little travel narrative then, as the author takes us on a road trip (a small one) through all the utopias and former utopias that are or were located close to his home. Like the stories of people who have moved-and-started-over, stories of utopias tend to all end the same—in failure—and I'd love to come up with some sort of broad and clever reason why. I suppose the real reason has something to do with human nature and our deep inability to live happily in a sacrificial group. Or something like that. In any case, I loved visiting all of these utopias. Maybe I can squeeze in time to join one of the still-operating utopias before I—or it—shuts down.
