This story needs some background because the political end is as interesting as the story. Here is a Wikipedia summary of events:

Thanks Sam . I was completely unaware of the backstory .

I tried hard to like this story because the conceit it explored is important and relevant but I'm just not into SF so I think I missed it's parody / irony / lineage completely .
