I'm curious--
Is anyone aware of any journalistic, theoretical or fictional writing which coherently imagines / predicts events which could occur following a movement like OWS in America, to transition into a clear vision of a new society?
Ever heard of 'The Venus Project'?

Nice!
you mean after the 30 tons of trash are picked up from each park?
Jack London's novel the Iron Heel is quite interesting. It's about the events that lead up to the establishment of a utopian society but is totally vague about the actual functioning of that society. It's kind of like 1984 with an optimistic outcome. Trotsky loved it.
This looks interesting, thanks.
I guess what I'm particularly after is some sort of comprehensive narrative description of one possible scenario for transforming a society that resembles contemporary America.
It could be a work of science fiction, or of speculative anthropology, or something...
I think this could be important?
