Everything for Everyone is a fictional oral history of a future utopian society that emerged after the collapse of the capitalist world. This book is a work of speculative fiction exploring how we could rebuild society to live and thrive together in a post-capitalist world. It explored a very specific vision of the future, so there were a lot of ideas in this book I agreed with and some that I didn't agree with.
The format of the book as an oral history kept us at a distance. Disappointingly, it allowed the authors to skimp on details of how the New York commune started and operated. Additionally, there were some science fiction elements that were jarring given that the book is documenting a mostly "realistic" vision of a not-so-distant future.
I think this book thrived when it zoomed in and explored sociologically how a specific community chose to exist and the structures they built, like the teen crèche that allowed teens to explore their independence while still being supported by the adults.
