This has some really interesting, thought-provoking ideas on the concept of community building. However, I did feel like the time scale featured in this book was too narrow considering how society and culture collapsed and was radically rebuilt in such a short span of time. Maybe more interviews over the course of a century or so would make this seem plausible? While the people interviewed were very diverse in identity, it appeared that they spoke with a very similar voice.
