Synopsis
"Pigeon City" (1972), First appeared in Analog Science Fiction (November 1972), ed. Ben Bova. You can read it online here.
"Pigeon City" imagines a Harlem of the future where the trend of one black into a city center, two whites move to the suburbs, continue--racial enclaves become utterly isolated from the exterior world. The "city machine", now controlled by computers, provides food, supplies, and retribution to the increasingly dilapidated and forlorn "ghettos". There are no jobs as basic necessities are provided by the city. Curtiss and his fellow black denizens of Harlem while away their time absorbed in their hobbies--Curtiss with his pigeons on his roof, Franklyn making candy perpetually lodged in his mouth, and Allen planning for a way to get back at the machine.
