Walden Two (novel)

"Walden Two" is a novel by B.F. Skinner, published in 1948, which explores a utopian community based on behavioral psychology principles. The story follows a group of people who visit this experimental community, designed to promote happiness and efficiency through social engineering and reinforcement techniques. The residents enjoy a simple, cooperative lifestyle, free from many societal problems, but the novel raises questions about individual freedom, authority, and the implications of manipulating behavior for a supposed greater good. It's a thought-provoking examination of how environment shapes human behavior and the potential for creating an ideal society.
