Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace
4.0

If you've read Archivist Wasp or Latchkey, you will be familiar with some of the cast of Firebreak! This is a prequel standalone story that explores a warring corporate dystopia (they own the water and the air); our protagonist is trying to eke out a living in a hotel room shared with 7 other people by dog walking and streaming the big hit videogame with her best friend Jessa; getting caught up in a conspiracy is not her exact life plan, but don't these things happen to the best of us. It's an interesting, snarky, hopeful-despite-the-dread tale; I loved getting more of 06 and 22's story.
