    • 2011, Lavie Tidhar, Osama: A Novel, Oxford, Oxfordshire: Solaris, published 2012, →ISBN, page 233:
      There should have been women in silver suits taking in a show at the tri-vids before indulging in a spot of lunch, the kind that came in three-course pills, great big subservient robots trailing behind them. Instead there was a brown man in overalls collecting rubbish with a long stick outside an adult cinema, and the cars were halted, bumper-to-bumper, beside a traffic light that seemed to be stuck permanently on red.
