| Resumo: | In his novel Ecotopia Emerging (1981), Ernest Callenbach depicts 17-year-old Lou Swift. This self-taught science enthusiast develops solar cells. From the development of her invention to its dissemination through apprenticeship workshops, the novelist portrays a process fully embedded in technical democracy. Rejecting personal profit and preaching sharing and self-education, Lou Swift’s character is set against the big industrial groups in a sort of modern David and Goliath struggle, embodying the T.-P. Hughes’s figure of the independent inventor. |
