Only took nearly the whole year. Like many KSR books, it took work to get through. I can't decide if the work was worth it, but there's a tremendous amount in it. An exploration of the possibilities of Utopian political economy, starting afresh on a new plan, but in a constant dialectic with the past in the present - a desperate Earth. Just read Frederic Jameson's "An American Utopia" which references this old series. I wonder if I'll make it through the other two.
