Showing how things became gradually more dystopian as you left the society controlled areas and the effects the shrinking disaster had on society was very nice. Usually with these types of NWO stories, the effects of shrinking of an entire group of people is hand waved but I like how you took the time to show that areas outside Atlanta is mostly fucked.

The only other thing I can say about this chapter is that it sucks knowing more than the characters do. Since we’re viewing things from a society perspective, they appear good even though we know they’re corrupt or at least their leadership is. The resistance isn’t any better but we don’t know if they actually realize what caused the disaster or if they’re just being used by the society to maintain a constant threat so that the people rely on them more and accept their rules.

Hopefully Isabella finds out the meaning behind Dr. Manchent’s last words. 

 

Author's Response:

Indeed the effects of shrinking is tended to be handwaved, but I wanted this to be more realistic and actually look at how things would have fallen apart everywhere the Society didn't go. Pretty much, if you are outside a major city the place is generally very much post-apoclaliptic, though there might be exceptions.

 

As for knowing more, well...I don't want to spoil anything so I will just say hehehehehehe.
