An Arc of Electric Skin is a classic short story in that it works with one plot point and one speculation. Kind of gory, as that one plot point is assassination of corrupt African political leaders, but you can tell the author feels pretty strongly. So it was fine as an example of that kind of single-focus story, but I can't say much else about the literary value.
