Publishers Weekly on Home Fires (mild spoilers)

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hmm...no. Do you recommend it?
But _An Evil Guest_ folded in Doctorow's mountain and washing machine 
married couple from _Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves_ and --while 
the concept of downloading backups in to new bodies is not unique-- this 
bit does bring to mind _Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom_.
