Status Updates From Planet Magnon

The narrator has an almost child-like tone of indoctrination. To the reader, the validity of the renegades position is obvious. The collectives correspond to filter bubbles. Communication with the outside has become rare after limiting the net regionally. In between the collective and the renegades is a bunch of lost ganja smokers. Too much unreflected drug usage as in Allegro Pastell. Drugs are not normal, Leif.

There's something wrong from the beginning with the collectives. What is supposed to be a stimulating competition in a peaceful environment, is a begrudging balance of power. The protagonists are rather ideas than characters. Worthwhile insights are foreshadowed but never materialize.
Does Randt intend his characters and the ideas to be so annoying? I already had this issue with Allegro Pastell.

Started with the glossary on the last 30 pages. World-building. Curious mix of SF and social fiction. Different factions on six different inhabited planets in one solar system compete for the perfect lifestyle. An AI is taking all decisions in the name of peace and prosperity. The concept reminds me of Lessing's Shikasta with feminism replaced by hedonism.
