Spare Parts: Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot, and the Battle for the American Dream by Joshua Davis

4.0

Great story, mostly depressing particularly where the kids finally end up. All of the issues around undocumented kids are difficult and somewhat intractable. When viewing this particular angle it is hard not to be outraged that we don't value obviously smart and capable future citizens. Kids should have to suffer for adult politics/boundaries/decisions yet it happens almost everywhere.

The message I will take with me is that creativity and drive always seems to rise to the top if given even a glimmer of a chance.
