In "Radicals Chasing Utopia," Jamie Bartlett embarks on an extraordinary journey into the hearts and minds of the world's most audacious radicals - those on the fringes of society who dare to imagine a new world and are bold enough to believe they can create it. From techno-utopians seeking the key to immortality to far-right activists determined to redraw the boundaries of nationalism, from environmental warriors putting their lives on the line to save the Earth to psychedelic enthusiasts exploring consciousness expansion as a cure for societal ills, Bartlett delves deep into the lives and ideologies of people who operate at the edges of conventional wisdom. With unparalleled access and a keen eye for the human element in these complex movements, Bartlett guides us through a landscape of innovation, danger, and potential enlightenment. "Radicals Chasing Utopia" is more than just a chronicle of unconventional thought; it is a compelling exploration of the power of ideas to shape the future. Bartlett argues that while the methods of these groups may often be radical, their existence is crucial to the evolution of society. By challenging the status quo and stretching the limits of what we believe is possible, these visionaries offer us a glimpse of what the future could hold. This book is not only an insight into the minds of those chasing utopia but also a reminder of the importance of listening to the voices on the periphery.
