A Silicon Republic

摘要

Federico fernandez awakens every morning at 6 to get to his dream job on time. He climbs into his battered '88 Toyota and drives past the bread and machinery factories that surround the land he shares with the rest of his extended family in San Jose, Costa Rica. Fernandez has to lock the driveway gate behind him—the workers have recently taken to kidnapping his dogs because his uncle has filed a noise complaint against the factories. He navigates through the morning traffic, around tire-swallowing chuck-holes, and through the city air that smells of meat-processing plants and diesel fumes.
