New York: Bantam Books, Date: 1977. First Bantam Edition. Callenbach's self-published first novel, and ecological utopia now referred to as "the novel that predicted Portland." "Callenbach could not find a publisher for his book in 1974, and was told that it was neither a novel or a tract. "Somebody said the ecology trend was over," he says. "I was on the point of burning it." But he persevered, collecting small checks from friends to pay for 2,500 copies to be printed" (Vaughn, Jacqueline. Environmental Politics: Domestic and Global Dimensions, p.316). Callenbach presents a vision of the future, 19 years after the northwestern U.S. has seceded, as viewed by an American reporter visiting and relaying his observations. "Appropriate technology, environmental concern, improved relationships, concern for the common good, natural recycling, decentralization, willingness to use those machines which are useful but will not harm the environment, cooperation, and careful planning have led to a society not yet utopian, because of external and internal threats, but well on the way" (Lewis, pp.36-38). As with the Banyan Tree edition, the mass-market Bantam edition was reprinted dozens of times. Lewis, pp.36-38; Sargent, p.161. First Printing.

[publisher: Banyan Tree Books, Berkeley, California] Hardcover First Edition Octavo, cloth. First edition. The hardcover issue of Callenbach's self-published first novel. "Nineteen years after the northwestern United States has seceded, an American reporter visits the new land and describes what he finds. Appropriate technology, environmental concern, improved personal relationship, concern for the common good, natural recycling, decentralization, willingness to use those machines which are useful but will not harm the environment, cooperation, and careful planning have led to a society not yet utopian, because of external and internal threats, but well on the way. The influence of E. F. Schmaker, Barry Commoner, and others of the Small-is-Beautiful recycling wing of modern society is obvious." - Lewis, Utopian Literature, pp. 36-7. ECOTOPIA "expressed on paper the dream of an alternative future held by many in the movements of the 1970s and later." - Wikipedia. "This is perhaps the most important modern addition to the tradition of Bellamy's LOOKING BACKWARD ." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-207. The sequel is ECOTOPIA EMERGING (1981).

[publisher: Berkeley, California: Banyan Tree Books, 1975] First Edition First edition, first printing, inscribed in red ink on the initial blank, "For Tee, with love, Chick". Ecotopia, a cult favourite and one of the first ecological utopias ever written, was highly influential on 1970s counterculture and the sustainability movement. A widely admired futuristic novel by the American film scholar and environmentalist Ernest "Chick" Callenbach (1929-2012), Ecotopia was strangely prescient and remarkably rational in its predictions of the ways in which toxic living could threaten health and sustainability. It was self-published in an initial run of 2,500 copies, with Callenbach remembering that "it was rejected by every significant publisher in New York. Some said it didn't have enough sex and violence, or that they couldn't tell if it were a novel or a tract. Somebody said the ecology trend was over" (quoted in the NYT). After an excerpt in Harper's Weekly was favourably received, Bantam decided to publish the next edition. Ralph Nader, who later endorsed the book in a blurb, remarked: "It came out at just the right time in terms of the environmental movement. Environmentalists had been focusing on pollution inversions, rivers catching fire because of oil slicks, things like that. His book took it to a different level of possibility. and broadened the meaning of ecology" (quoted in The Washington Post). Scott Timberg ...
