"I would really like to find more books that are similar to this one.
I like the books approach of observing multiple people from different corners of society as a way to paint a picture of current climate of how society co-exist and what is normal. You get immersed and slowly find that the character's experience somehow affected each other or will come into each other's lives at some point of the book. It set in a future time. "
