Chris and his opportunistic friend, Ronny, discover a portal to Americana, a parallel-universe America. They plan to have Chris film some videos, return home, and then post them online for a quick profit. But Chris becomes captivated by Americana’s tight-knit community, sustainable practices, and the enigmatic sisters, Sandra and Katie.

        Back in America, Ronny dismisses the wonders of the new world. Chris realizes his home country will only seek to profit off Americana—and that it is up to him to shut down the portal and keep the parallel world safe.

        In the tradition of Edward Bellamy's radical reimagining of society in Looking Backward and Ernest Callenbach's vision of ecological harmony in Ecotopia, Through the Looking Glass invites readers on a thought-provoking, entertaining adventure. Meticulously researched, it challenges readers to reconsider technology and our relationship with the environment.
