In a new variation on an old theme, I received this book in a LibraryThing drawing as did the other 100 people who requested it.This teaser novelette of 40 pages is the story of a dystopian future in which the rich and privileged have grown very rich and very privileged while the rest live out hard-scrabble lives at the bottom trying to stay alive.The setting here is interesting though very much like a lot of other dystopian futures with large populations.  The haves and the have-nots are at each other's throats as you'd expect.  Sadly the editing here is very poor and the text is riddled with typos and errors.  I don't think this even has the benefit of being able to say it's an advance copy.  For such a short work I'm surprised the editing is so poor.In summary, this tiny book has potential but needs cleaning up.  It's also far too short to grab any serious interest as I'm ready to walk away and never think about it again.  Many possibilities but none of them realized.
