Please don't read comments until you've read this. It is very short and fast to read. It is radicalizing. It is a good short story to send to your friend who needs to understand what capitalism is.

    If you ever needed a quick allegory to completely blow someone's head off in a short, powerful way, this is such a good fucking way to do it.

      it is not as short, but if you want to read some more really brutal and radicalizing sci-fi go find Bloodchild by Octavia Butler. (is also available as audiobook)
