I think a dense philosophical text on ethics at the edge of sentience is a useful thing for a society to have.

Even if it's hard to turn that into a widespread shift of consciousness, it's a great first step and a solid foundation to build on. Assuming it is solid philosophically, that is - no way to tell that from just an article.

Most everything else I've read has just been vibes. If this book can deliver on being more than vibes, I'm all for it.
