In the year which followed the termination of Project Pigeon I wrote Walden Two (Skinner,

1948), a Utopian picture of a properly engineered society. Some psychotherapists

might argue that I was suffering from personal rejection and simply retreated to a fantasied world where everything went according to

plan, where there never was heard a discouraging word.

But another explanation is, I think, equally plausible. That piece of science fiction

was a declaration of confidence in a technology of behavior. Call it a crackpot idea

if you will; it is one in which I have never lost faith.
