The book chronicles the history of the Oneida community in the 1800's. They are an interesting example of American Communism, with a Christian twist. Reading about their experiment with "complex marriage" (aka highly regulated free love) makes the book worthwhile! Does anyone, besides sociologists and historians, read about utopian communities?
