Berkisah mengenai kesenjangan sosial yang terjadi di Town. Penduduk nya dibagi menjadi 2 kategori. Kategori L, Warga, penduduk resmi Town yang memiliki kekuatan ekonomi dan pendidikan dan kategori L2 yang merupakan orang-orang yang tidak memiliki kualifikasi sebagai L, yang hidupnya berada di tengah-tengah dan dengan status yang tidak pasti. Orang yang tidak masuk kedalam 2 kategori itu disebut Saha, yang bahkan tidak dipedulikan oleh pemerintah.

Kisahnya dibuka ketika seorang pria dari Saha bernama Dokyeong dituduh membunuh seorang dokter anak bernama Su. Kakak Dokyeong, Jinkyeong, berusaha untuk mencari tahu keberadaan adiknya yang sedang dalam pelarian. Dapatkah Jinkyeong menemukan Dokyeong?

This was a great read - a social commentary on how societies live today in a never-ending pursuit of capitalism. It was a more character than plot kind of read but I really enjoyed myself reading it. The ending was left a bit open-ended though but I didn’t mind it at all.

Started off great - became tedious. It absolutely could have been a short story in an anthology but we don’t need another meandering technological dystopia.

This book sent me into a reading slump. It’s half baked, like a draft for two different books. At the end it felt like I was experiencing a fever dream.

I feel like this covered poverty, classism, and being trapped on the margins of society well.  But it covered way too much ground and so the other topics (abortion, healthcare, the pandemic, terrorism, and government) weren’t done as well and ended up being very surface level and rushed
