@carlosfandango, I was digging around Jack London's writing for a possible post in my dogs and cats territory, and came across this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_of_the_Abyss

If I recall you are a fan of Orwell's Down and Out In Paris and London, and I guess this book influenced Orwell. I have heard of London's book before, but never read it. Have you?

I think I'm going to read it. Now I have been looking at Jacob Riis photos of New York tenement living. I'll check out How The Other Half Lives too. It really does seem that we're beginning to live the modern equivalent.

I went off on a Charles Dicken’s rabbit hole once-upon-a-time. I both read and listened to audio books while driving. They are dark but fantastically good books and this is coming from a SciFi fan. Aged Parent!

I read all of them and listened to the ones I could get in audio. Yes, the ones that were serialized had different pacing than the ones published as stand alone books. David Copperfield was especially noteworthy for the action. Aged Parent!
