So here's the deal. I, and many of my co-authors, ran out of steam for the earthship idea halfway through writing the first Hacking book. That's why we moved on to helping you design a home that speaks to your place, culture, and desires in the second half.

We just cannot argue with

A) the research... the standard earthship models don't work as designed,
B) the mythology... that's full of fluffy yarns spun into a tale of total sustainability bull, or
C) the dated aesthetic.

I hear day and day out now from former earthship wanters that they really want...

MORE. BETTER. AFFORDABLE. NATURAL. NOW.
and despite the jackhole stalker who posted a scary and many kinds of of factually wrong Amazon review and tried to make me a bad guy because I share the truth and think bigger, (what? Zen doesn't matter? Teaching people how to be empowered through design doesn't matter? You LIVE in a space! It SHOULD feed your soul! And where you build matters very much!)
1) I KNOW MY AUDIENCE, (AND LOVE YOU! MUAH!) and  2) I aim to please.
So here it is. 
Every week, starting this week, I'll give away another section of the book. FOR FREE. Here. And I'll update them with new info as it comes available. I'll leave the intact first edition of the book up for sale for those who want to buy it so they can have a one-workbook approach to designing their perfect home. I might even update the second edition that myself and the guys who WERE Earthship Europe have been building since immediately after the book came out last year.  Because better IS doable. It's possible. It's affordable. It's natural. And it's BULLSHIT FREE! WOO HOO! Their version of it is called Permahome.
And, as it happens, as I intended to in the book, I started the non-profit called Architecture for EveryBody so I could share more with you! Because I believe that architecture and design improve lives and that just because people are not wealthy doesn't mean they don't deserve an awesome home. And until I wake up and my good eye isn't working any more at all, I will do everything in my power to EMPOWER you with good design! And I've brought on all the former authors and 20+ NEW ones to talk about earth sheltering and design around the world!!!!
That's my promise to you. We WILL help you through it!Peace. And GOOD LUCK!
