Though the topic is broadly similar, this is a better work of fiction than The Right to Read.
For example, the characters in The Right to Read are props in the author's morality play. Whereas these characters are characters, and while you can still see the author moving around behind the scenes he's done his best to let the characters speak for themselves. I'm not sure they fully agree with him.

Nice work.
That's a really great essay.
It's amazing how closer the real world is to this fiction with DRM ebooks.
