"One book that everyone should read from the science fiction genre is

growing sprawl of suburbia and cities kind of morphing into each other —
and it’s a really fascinating read in that he predicts a lot of what we
take for granted now."

Security survivor benefits if their spouse dies, and take up to 12 weeks
off to care for a sick family member without fear of losing their job
under the Family and Medical Leave Act. But what about a gay couple that
get married in New York and then move back to North Carolina, or any
other of the 38 states that have explicitly banned gay marriage?"
