rethinking – well, everything
book 1
beginning
Alice Adler sets out to convince the US billionaire Tom Holbon to build a town experiment. The aim of the experiment is to rethink — well, everything.
Eventually Tom Holbon agrees to use his contacts and assembles a team of experts to create a first draft for the town and for the experiments. The experiments aim at finding out which environment might allow humans to thrive.
While the focus is initially on neurological patients, soon additional features catch the team’s attention, such as business ideas which empower, town layouts and architecture which focus on human well-being, the role of arts & crafts in a vibrant town, the invention of special gardens such as the Senses Garden or the party den, and quite a bit more.
In between, there are personal stories, connections and clashes to discover.
