Against the Vortex: Zardoz and Degrowth Utopias in the Seventies and Today

Starting with Boorman's 1974 cult science fiction film Zardoz, Anthony Galluzo's wide-ranging book explores a certain strain of utopian art and architecture of the seventies that was about creating an ecotopian society, based on the opposite of endless growth and sprawl. Is this film criticism, sociology, philosophy, utopian city planning, science fiction, or a meditation on the perils of capitalism? Every page of this slim, thinky book is interesting and weird.
