Reminded me of:
[b:The Stars My Destination|1258746|The Stars My Destination|Alfred Bester|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1182313330l/1258746.SY75.jpg|1398442]

Good:
space politics!
a lot of interesting concepts scientifically accepted tarot, work revolutionized by cybernetics, ...
has some interesting romantic elements

Bad:
at times fees self indulgent
I really hate the trope of a driven yet abusive leader that inspires devotion in their followers despite bullying them
* flat & boring antagonist/supporting characters
