I ran into this from a Reddit comment on r/Futurology absent the context that it was fiction. This eventually becomes apparent, but the past couple of hours have been a wild ride.

This is chapter one, of which there are eight. It is well-crafted sci-fi and ultimately (as tends to be the case in the genre, as there’s not much drama to everything going well) lands somewhere quite optimistic.

What the human condition could be if we stopped all the bullshit, profit motive and oligarchy.

Providing an excerpt from longform fiction is somewhat pointless, but the writing is sharp, and the story flows well.
