Annotation

The story is set in a future where a drone delivery runs the area like a company town with the workers required to pay rent to live in barracks and buy everything they need from the company store with any, even slight, dissent leading to being fired. The focus, though, is on three teenagers who develop a system for capturing the drones and stealing what they are carrying.
