i also found that book as my related text!! it is kinda difficult to analyse, but i think the imaginative journey resides in the composer and readers coz they're the ones speculating about what our world wouldbe like in the future...not much help coz i'm still workin on it...srry

To be honest, I don't think this text is a representation of an imaginative journey at all. The author Jeannie Baker has stated that the book is about "exponential change" in our world. If you take a look at the second last image, you will realise that is no more futuristic than our world today (even at the time of writing). Thus, the text is more a reflection of society than of our supposed future. Jeannie also rejects the idea of a mass consumerist world anyway, by having the protagonist move back to the country, rejecting futuristic claims.

Perhaps another text is better suited to your study of Imaginative Journeys...
