Great overall and very useful as a primer on different Utopian movements and as an argument towards a politics of radical hopefulness.
Knocking it down a bit for the portions where it seems overly apologetic or to have to explain itself when I think it would have been more effective and persuasive in going full steam ahead. It also has a very lightly TERF-y mention near the beginning and it's pillorying of 'family abolition' only to essentially lay out and endorse the fundamental principles of it didn't sit well with me either.
That said, there's so much more positive than negative here.
