people never talk about the technogimmick in The Diamond Age
The Diamond Age, like all Neal Stephenson novels, is about revolutionary shifts in the means of production of something – in this case the transition from “The Feed”, a futuristic centralised hub-and-spoke nanoassembly infrastructure to a different archeofuturistic mode “The Seed” where everything is grown by Vegetables that have been Invented by a Society, to produce commodities
the implication is that this solves the alienation problem which the various polities of the world, all more or less self-consciously Trad as Fuarq, have been butting their heads against throughout the novel, because it pleases quite hardcore anarcho-commies very much to be alienated from production of commodities when it is performed in mysterious ways by a vegetable in the field next to your cottage.
