The easy town books
The easy town story
The easy town story is like the initial seed for all easy town ideas and projects. And like a universe it is constantly expanding.
The overall story is simple: a town experiment is planned in several stages, the town is built, the town gets into trouble, and some of the main characters mess things up.
Despite some troubles and some detours, the story always returns to the town ideas, and never really stops to ask questions, and to rethink, well, everything.
