Annotation

In 2122 the Eutopian worlds were terraformed in orbit around the Earth and seventy-three groups were allowed to create their utopia. The Prologue (7-9) refers to the failures of a few and mentions that some flourished and others failed for a variety of reasons. Here the focus is on the evolution of a Maasai utopia  that they call Kilimanjaro showing a series of decisions that had to be made to reconcile Maasai traditions to current conditions. A companion to 1998 Resnick, Kirinyaga: A Fable of Utopia, and the Maasai had studied the mistakes made by the Kikuyu as described in that volume. At the time of this work, Kirinyaga still functions but no longer with a utopian vision.
