A bit like "Stranger In A Strange Land" but for a US american journalist visiting "Ecotopia". The book is alternating between reports written by the main character for his newspaper and his diary entries. Thus its a mix between the "reportable" things and his personal escapades.
Especially the diary entries read a bit like some wishful thinking by Ernest Callenbach; but some of the reports are also revealing the age of the book in their attempt to show how wonderfully advanced Ecotopia is.
I wouldn't recommend attempting to read it for entertainment. If you seek somewhat solarpunk ideas, there might be something here, but I seriously hope there are better books around.

Conan being Conan, monsters being monstrous, and women are there to be frightened (at best). Also, world-building is making up as many names as possible in as few pages as possible.
I don’t know what I expected. It’s of its time and it shows.
Some of the monsters are interesting though.
@danielk@astrodon.social I assume you meant the Necronomicon and not the 3-part anthology "Three Body Problem" (:
That said, there are some good ones in there, but get ready to switch to something different in between.
