What if it’s our best window to the future? A discussion with David Brin.
He’s more down on lunar resources than I am, but I agree with his critique of Artemis.

Brin was a quarter century ahead in thinking about how information technology would turn every industrialized society into a surveillance society.

Haven’t read any of his fiction but his politics are sure unsavory.
“In fact, Bernie, Liz, Stacey, Jaime, Hakeem and others seem to be spending half their time herding frippy sanctimony ‘cats’ back into the only coalition that can possibly save civilization.”
Yeah, I’ve never read anything by him either, but just that one line from that little screed has shown that I’ve not missed anything by my by not reading his other “futurism” writings, fiction on non-fiction.
