Summary
"This is a book about some experimental villages for extraordinary people. Experimental in having a shared economy and communal living. Experimental in providing room for most sorts of people with a rich variety of eccentric behaviour. [...] Most sorts of people - many seen as "deficient" by the state classificatory system - here share all life conditions; house, meals, work, cultural life. No individual salary, no staff, no clients. The villages are not institutions, but they are not examples of ordinary life either"--Preface.
