Miivoxmax
What is MiiVOXMin or MiiVOXmax in George Sanders' story? 3
Mike is an experienced veteran. This (country) is very different from where you left it.
There is a small place where you go, where the counter is full of big blue plastic slabs. The label says MiiVOXMin or MiiVOXMax.
When Mike asked what it was, he got the following answer: Well, that's what I'm going to say.
Random facts about the place: People keep bringing espresso and cakes.

Deborah Trezman, fiction editor at The New Yorker, responds:
It's a small piece of plastic that may have something to do with data storage, but if it confuses you, it's intended to give you a sense of the suspicion that Mike feels.
Sanders tries to change Mike's suspicions after a long absence. When you come back, the stores are selling things you have never heard of or understood. If you want to keep talking about the story, you can check out this Q&A with Saunders on The New Yorker's website.
I'm George Sanders.
