I live in California\'s Bay Area, where I like to cook, garden, and visit with friends. A permaculture enthusiast, you\'ll often find me wandering my garden, a cup of coffee in hand. I gave fascinated by Epicurean philosophy and wonder how that would work in society, so I write out my thought experiments here.
What if the world, our world, shifted to apply the philosophy of Epicurus? What would day-to-day living look like? How would we live? What problems might come up? Would it be an improvement or a dreadful mistake?

This is the story of Molly, a sensitive sixteen year old who lives on an alternate Earth shaped and driven by Epicurean ideals - for better or worse.
Will her life be sad or happy, peaceful or frightening? The only way to know is to enter the thought experiment.
