The Giver, by Lois Lowry, depicts a rigidly controlled, futuristic utopian society. Conflict is avoided at all costs by banning anything that might cause it, including love, sex, unusual physical characteristics, and even color. Homogeneity is valued extremely highly, and even something as simple as light-colored eyes could get a baby “released” from the community. For people who want to fit into a community without the competitive need to stand out to be successful, the society in The Giver is perfect. One will never need to worry about food, finding work, or starting a family. This is all taken care of by the Elders, which allows one to enjoy a simple life involving some work, but no suffering or boredom.

Auroville, a small community in south India between Pondicherry and Chennai, was founded in 1968 as an experimental utopia. It is extremely inclusive, and its approximately 2500 residents come from 49 different countries around the globe. Besides a few required chores, such as cooking once in a while for the community, the residents of Auroville work on collaborative projects to keep busy. These projects range from reforestation, research in organic farming, and advocating for women’s rights in local villages, to simply building a house for oneself, or running a family restaurant. Overall, life in Auroville differs greatly from person to person, so if you are looking for a peaceful, welcoming community where you are largely independent and can choose your own schedule each day without having to worry about going to work or making money, then Auroville is an ideal place for you.
