Whoever decides to pick up this book should know: this isn't a story about characters, but about populations, trends and - yes - politics, told through several POV characters. To demonstrate: the best chapter of the book is the debate one, which also includes a non-diagetic table! The author simply decided that a table would be the best option to illustrate one character's feelings on a topic.
If this excites you, then you are looking at the right book! It has a lot of horrible little details about the life in the latter half of the 21 century - for example, the gig economy has become a norm to such an extent, that service providers bid for each order, and getting a haircut turns into a public auction of tired hair dressers.
