This genre of intentional communities is kind of a big obsession of mine and inspiration for my own work doing historical preservation community regeneration in upstate New York and Maine. I didn’t know about this book. It’s gold! Thanks for your consideration.

Ahhh I love this, girl do they have technology there or everything is still kept in place??
Ha ha, thanks sis! In New York it’s strictly a historical site. So as an organization it’s all modern and the buildings are activated as museum sites. In Maine, incredibly this is still a functional live Shaker community. The only one left in the world. It’s both museum and used in everyday life with all current technology. I’m not aware if they have any beliefs which conflict with modern ways of operating. Back in the day Shakers were extremely advanced with adopting new technologies compared to the great society.
