A quick read in S. B. Divya's cyberpunk future
This short story is set in S. B. Divya's slightly dystopian future setting. Specifically, it is a few days in the life of a young person who lives in poverty, trying to scratch together a brighter future for her and her family. She longs for sports celebrity, endorsements and wealth as a long distance cyber-enhanced cross country runner. The United States of America in this setting has codified a path to legal status for immigrants who can scrape together the funds to buy in - but they can never get full citizenship status. This is only glimpse in this person's life, but it does end on a hopeful note.
