Auroville

From the author of Ganbare! Workshops on Dying

In southern India lies Auroville, an experimental city founded in 1968 with a radical vision: to create a utopia free from religion, politics, and nationality, where humanity could live in harmony. But what happens when ideals meet reality?

In Auroville, award-winning journalist Katarzyna Boni journeys deep into this unique community, uncovering stories of hope, disillusionment, and resilience. From spiritual seekers and lifelong residents to skeptics questioning the city's future, Boni paints a vivid portrait of a place where dreams of a better world persist--despite the challenges of human nature.

A thought-provoking exploration of utopia and its complexities, Auroville is a powerful meditation on the search for meaning and belonging in an ever-changing world.
