Found my way this story via a link on a blog post on social media... but it's actually set in the same world as [Walkaway]. This story feels like Walkaway's indictment of economic inequality, crossed with Little Brother's sense of what it's like to be a high school student in a terrifying surveillance state. I liked how it packed a lot of hints about what's going on in the world into a small space, filtered through the lens of what the protagonist is worried about. ( )
