I always had this vision that one day the world will be divided into “macro countries” that differ between each other for lifestyle choices: there will be a capitalist macrocountry, a naturist macrocountry, a nihilist macrocountry etc..
Let’s say I accept or love capitalism with its pros and cons, I decide to live in the capitalist macrocountry. But if I want to live in a community-oriented with nature where there’s no capitalism but a bargaining system between citizens who see life in a way alike mine, I move to the naturist macrocountry (or call it as you want)..
You get the idea.
Is there a sci-fi book that has been already envisioned something like this?
Thanks a lot!!

i would think; Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.
Might be a interesting option to consider.
*Blackfish City* is an interesting take on dystopia. Post climate disaster, a huge floating city filled with classism doesn’t know what to do when rumors of a mysterious woman riding a killer whale starts circulating. Some cool moments and inspired by Inuit folklore.
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. There’s two worlds, an anarchist society and a capitalist society. Really amazing book.
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. It’s not *quite* divided as you say, but similar. Each species has a home-world and they all have different tendencies. (communally raised, tech-savvy, etc.) It’s a fun book.
Divergent has some of that. More micro than macro, but society is definitely divided by lifestyle
