I agree with this assessment. However, the book was never supposed to be realistic, simply a plausible beginning to a story. Idealistic hope, and imagining yet unimagined sci-fi stories that specifically reject the dystopian mindset that can often plague sci-fi, is kind of KSR's thing. All of his books are like this.
