SOMEWHERE, IN AN imaginary literary world, lies a place called, simply, Town. It is a prosperous city state that sorts its citizens into a hierarchical system of classes: there are happy, healthy Citizens, followed by lower-class semi-citizen L2s, and then by blue-collar laborers who do the hard work and survive on two-year work visas.
