This book is about human values, and how to realize them. A man from Bykrat visits the foreign land of Aipotu (pronounced eyePOtu; it may be read backwards too) and is shown around by his host, Gard. The people of Aipotu are acting on a new understanding of the inborn potential and importance of children. They believe that since the ability to live a rich and happy life is formed in childhood, a society must give priority to its children and the conditions of their upbringing. In Aipotu one finds a new way of distributing wealth, new roles for men and women, an unusual urban landscape, data technology designed to respect people’s wishes, and most importantly, a wonderful school system where each child can find its way according to its interests and develop its capacities, whatever they are, to the fullest.
