minus-square@grue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•edit-29 days agoWow, that’s super-topical in more ways than I had expected. The more I read, the more scarily insightful it gets. spoiler The main character being a refugee, with almost all that entails (can’t blame Doctorow for not anticipating it getting this bad) The dystopian collusion between the appliance-rentiers and the landlord, as well as the climax hinging on lack of tenant protections The way capitalism attempts to subsume all critique. This is a story that’s important, that everybody needs to read.
