- karamazov 15y agoNear-future sci-fi, it appears, with a (large) hint of social commentary.
- nicksergeant 15y agoGotcha. Figured as much, but wasn't sure.

- akeck 15y agoIt seems to be about a typical morning in a world where the capability to sue has been commoditized and automated to the point where everyone sues everyone else for every little rights violation all day long (nanolaw). This makes everyone a "lawyer." Tablet software makes settling the suits that matter trivial - just a tap a box to settle for a few cents or a few dollars. The father experiences this world as somewhat surreal, while it's normal for the daughter.
