Its concerns are a whole planet affair and not centered on the west. It definitely doesn't skimp on the economics. The solutions are thrilling to entertain and on the whole it's a pretty hopeful story. It doesn't lean in only one direction either-containing everything from collective living, science, banking, industry, activism, violence, murder, and blimps (errr, sorry, I mean airships).
