Web of the City
by Harlan Ellison
This one's a sad tale of a young man trying to escape. Rusty Santoro is a high school student nurturing a dream to become an industrial designer. He's also the former leader of the Cougars gang, having left both his position and the gang itself. Both actions violate the social norms of his world. It's not a pleasant tale, but Mr. Ellison makes the city and Rusty's dilemma come to life. In the process, he evoked memories of my own youth, my dreams, and my fear of mundanity. It's definitely a novel worth checking out.
