Bursting with inspiration, inventiveness and optimism, Designing the New World catapults the reader into a visionary journey into the near future where dedicated man and women are seeking to implement the kind of fundamental change necessary to safeguard the Earth and all its precious cargo.

Its pages present a practical and appealing design for a more humane and compassionate world. Designing the New World will appeal to the reader who's attracted to nonfiction books and is more interested in a detailed, educational treatment of the subject matter than a strong emphasis on character development.

Editorial Reviews

Magical Blend Magazine
     “So you say you want to save the world, but you haven’t a clue how to get from here to there. This is the road map for you. It is fiction of course, yet it speaks to elements that could and should be considered by all of us and utilized in saving the world. It deals with sentient technology which interacts in a healthy way with the planet and nature. OK folks, we are in a decade of decision! If we all decide to work at jobs we hate, waste our energies and feel frustrated by the world, we will not have a pleasant future. If we reconsider how we use our energies, time, and resources we can co-create a paradise with our lives on the planet Earth. This book is not only captivating, it is inspiring. I was motivate by this book to take more actions in altering how I live and what I am contributing to a better tomorrow. Any book that does that for me ranks high in my view.”

NAPRA REVIEW
     “Set a few years in the future, Bensinger’s novel grapples with the environmental and human crisis now unfolding, drawing from his own rich understanding of renewable energy and sustainable economy, ecovillage design, public policy and intercultural collaboration. Far from doom and gloom, it’s a fine and hopeful vision of the future.”

     “Charles Bensinger parades before us a host of possible scenarios for salvaging the social, political and economic situation in the world. Bensinger’s smorgasbord of ideas and inventions are all geared to the evolution of humankind. PsyEarth Quest is a lightly veiled warning that we need to take immediate action to reverse the damage we’ve wreaked on Mother Earth. PsyEarth’s comprehensive bibliography and listing of resources reinforce our sense of power as a global community to demonstrate our willingness and worthiness to create a better world.”
