Don't get me wrong, there's some Lib shit in it too, particularly with it's representation of the conflict between Iran and Israel, but even with that I was surprised the Iranian character was presented more sympathetically than the Israeli one, also there's a kinda sympathetic Chinese communist character.

Honestly it has a lot of flaws, both narrative wise, idealistically and technical but I still liked it a lot and had an ending that, without spoiling too much, is just straight up Russian Cosmism, so much so I'm curious of the original author of the short stories is familiar with the concept.

      After he gets called a "democracy activist" by someone and tells them off for assuming he wanted to "create something as decedent as western liberalism".
