A look at the near-future

This is not a profound book, but it's a fun easy read. It uses the common theme of a rich kid leaving his inheritance -- and the chance to be run by the organization who ran his father -- to take to the streets, and be heard. Taking a new name, he starts a new culture. The book harkens back to the sixties themes of love, simplicity, and harmony.
