I did like the book but I also thought they solved huge problems in a single short chapter with minimal detail.

In one chapter it's mentioned that one of the characters is working on some open source social media. A few chapters later it becomes the dominant social media in the world... oh and also payment method... Oh and blockchain...

Being a big fan of Lemmy, I think the book is a bit optimistic.

I love Kim Stanley Robinson, but yeah, he is definitely handwaving past a lot of the feasibility and hard work involved in many of the solutions presented. He is just a writer throwing out ideas more than working thru the struggles of implementing and getting adoption of those ideas.

That's very fair.
