We Are Satellites by Sarah Pinsker
3.0
2.5 stars rounded up because I think it will appeal to some readers.
Boring, not-science fiction, family drama type of story. There are so many dull real life types of family stories out there that Pinsker assumed, correctly, that she had to throw something else in. What she threw in was a very lightly discussed "sci-fi" element that essentially gives anyone who has it an advantage. The separation of society could have been discussed much better and much more in depth but it wasn't, we just got the whole "I am alienating my son/daughter oh woe is me"
There is a reason I reads science fiction instead of generic fiction, I don't like false advertising but even without that, the book wasn't very entertaining.
