Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book 'Abundance' is drawing critical reactions from readers. One commenter argues the authors treat climate change too optimistically, essentially deferring the problem by betting that future innovation will deliver solutions rather than requiring an immediate end to resource overuse. The book, which argues for building more of what society needs, continues to spark discussion about whether its techno-optimism is aspirational or naive.

Why now: The recently published book is prompting readers to debate its optimistic approach to climate change.
