          I’m an immigrant (not a refugee to be clear) and this excerpt absolutely nails the camaraderie aspect of it and the way that living in immigrant neighborhoods/buildings feels. Turns out, Doctorow’s father was born in a refugee camp.

          Wow, 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.

        Are you seriously taking the risk of brussels sprouts with outdated firmware?
