Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book 'Abundance' is drawing criticism from readers finishing it. One critic argues the authors treat climate change too optimistically, betting that future innovation will solve environmental problems rather than demanding an immediate reduction in resource consumption. Others see the book as an aspirational case for building more and embracing progress through government and technology reform.

Why now: The book remains a talking point as readers weigh its techno-optimist take on climate policy against demands for more immediate action.
