The phrase "What Kind of Paradise" refers mainly to a 2025 novel by Janelle Brown. The story features a teenage girl who grows up in isolation in a Montana wilderness cabin with her father, who distrusts technology and society. The father tries to create a Thoreau-like utopia for his daughter, free from modern life, but the girl eventually breaks free from this isolated world to discover complex truths about her family and herself amid the dawn of the internet and the dot-com boom in San Francisco. The book explores themes of family, identity, coming-of-age, technology, and what paradise really means—suggesting that paradise is not a place, but something one chooses to define for oneself. This book's "paradise" is thus a contested and evolving idea—initially a secluded, nature-bound utopia created by the father, but ultimately a personal, self-defined concept encountered through growth, discovery, and breaking away from imposed isolation.
