About the Book: The Utopia Experiment
In 2006, Dylan Evans set out to answer these questions. He left his job in a
high-tech robotics lab, moved to the Scottish Highlands and founded a community
called The Utopia Experiment. There, together with an eclectic assortment of
volunteers, he tried to live as if global society had collapsed. No modern
technology. No creature comforts.Within a year, Evans found himself detained in
a psychiatric hospital, shattered and depressed, trying to figure out what had
gone wrong. In The Utopia Experiment he tells his own extraordinary story, and
in the process learns some hard lessons about himself and about life today.
