Okay, the first chapter very much has my attention, talking about how shitty and exploitative modern work culture is and how that is antithetical to people's thriving.
I hope that it doesn't go the way of Throw Away The Suit Together where the story's ending basically just says "suck it up" and shrugs. Even though these two will still have to live in the hellworld of capitalism, I hope that year they have given themselves is enough to carve out a healthier place for themselves, we desperately need more stories of people imagining a world beyond capitalism.
