“If you desire a life that breaks from the well-worn path of marriage and kids and a big house in the burbs, if you wish for a life that is less a reflection of society’s defaults and more of a work of art—one that reflects your creativity, desires, and grandest vision of what makes a good life—then you must read this book.”
—Dr. Marisa G. Franco, author of Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends
“How perfect that this celebration of collaborative, collective life should be such a joint effort—a chorus of voices coming together to offer a generous, expansive vision of what modern life can look like for those willing to think outside the box.”
