A nitpicky plot hole: There&#x27;s no way poor people in this near-future dystopia would have access to a device that can access darknet forums, nor would video hosting sites allow hacking instructions, nor would the building&#x27;s ISP allow access to anything besides ad-infested walled-garden services. At least, you&#x27;d have to jailbreak your computing device first, which is chicken-and-egg, and also hacking your phone would bring even worse risks to a precariat than hacking your toaster (especially if your phone serves as government ID).<p>In the grim dark future, there is only authorized bread.

Thank you for posting this. I hadn&#x27;t read the story before. Everyone here should read it.
