It is not nirvana. It is not heaven. It is not utopia. The paradise fantasy is grounded in the tangible world, the idyllic landscape of regenerative virgin earth in which one does not need to work. But is this an unattainable dream of the past? Is the mythified period of paradise as it was originally conceived of over, and if so, what kind of contemporary paradise can we hope for, or is one even possible?
