There's no nuance because the power imbalance and overall context very obviously makes them fundamentally incomparable. What a weasel word

They're already being punished. I don't agree with being punitive to make observers feel good. It's an error. What else do you need?

Baxter's Flood, then Ark. Neal Stephenson's Seveneves, too. Down And Out in the Magic Kingdom is tonally similar, if you like Doctorow, although that explores a different manifestation of disconnection from others. All great for a romp

I suppose the 'self-interest' of desiring a cigarette outweighs the 'self-interest' of preserving your health.
