Beggars and Choosers - Nancy Kress

Beggars and Choosers is set some time after Beggars in Spain, and the focus has moved on to one of the new generation, Miranda.

Here, society has changed remarkably into people that work, and those that don't, with the former providing basic levels of care and substitence to the rest. This society is beginning to break down, and the Sleepless exist on their own gated island fortress. One of the latter becomes involved with Miranda's plans for the future of society.
