I believe that it is a good take on the cheap labor situation and the awful conditions the workers' experience. Also, it puts in a new light the 'recycling' industry. It is a little depressing to see how society's mechanisms are corrupted, but I think that it also leaves the possibility of hope for a better solution.
I was not super engaged by the story until I was familiarized with the characters, but afterward, I felt I need to find out where their storylines ended.
The 'science' aspect of the science-fiction is not very evolved, but it suits the story very well.
