It would be a good satire of capitalist "human nature" arguments and American individualism

Is it any good? Loved the Mars trilogy but Aurora, Ministry for the Future and 2312 was disappoining.

It's one of his very early books and there isn't actually a ton that happens in it. As part of his Three Californias trilogy there was some interesting stuff but overall I'd probably consider it a pass. Though I really enjoyed Aurora and 2312, so our tastes may not necessarily align

I suppose Aurora was actually decent, just a bit anticlimatic. 2312 had a lot of memorable and cool worldbuilding but the story was almost non existing.
