As strange as this may seem, he condensed his experiences into two books: ''A Macro Philosophy for the Aquarian Age'', copyright October 1970, and ''2150: the Macro Love Story'' copyright October 1971. Both books (white cover version) were published by his short-lived corporation, the Macro Development Center. Don shared the copyright with his former graduate student and wife, Thea Alexander.

In 1973, Gene Roddenberry, of Star Trek fame, was interested in ''2150'' and wanted to produce a television series based on the book, but rights were tied up in court in a divorce between the authors, in which Don retained rights to ''A Macro Philosophy for the Aquarian Age'', and Thea retained rights for ''2150''. The blue version of the original text was published in 1973.

In 1976, Thea Alexander reworded parts of the book and published under the Warner Books label. This is the red and black on white paperback version of which most people are familiar. ''2150'' went through several printings before going out of print sometime in the early 1990s.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • To a century: This is a redirect from a year or decade to the associated century article. Years from 4000 to 1700 BC should redirect to the relevant century per Misplaced Pages:Timeline standards.
    • Do not replace these redirected links with a link directly to the target page. Individual articles may be created for these years or decades in the future.
  • With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
