So I'm catching up on some podcast when I run into the Bob Edwards show from May 31-June 1. The first part of the program was about some song heritage (which I'm mildly interested in).
The second part of the show was with Andrew Blechman about his new book
Leisureville. about age-restricted retirement communities. In the interview there was lots of social discussion and the ramifications of intentional segregation. Just how large these communities are is shocking. Also, the kind of life inside may be surprising (the politics, the faked construction, importation of work, etc).
There's something in there about colony starships, the intentional segregation, imposed and faked cultures. Interesting to get a case study about it. Including the statement about how these communities don't have cemeteries. Very interesting that is.
