Both Steve Skeates and Jerry Grandenetti did a good job on this. Skeates could write stories where he seemed to be saying, 'This is what happened. Now you figure it out. You decide what it means.' Certainly no one would interpret this situation in a positive light, but there's no easy villain to point your finger at or single trend to attack. It's just, 'This is the situation. Deal with it.' And Grandenetti offers up one disquieting & disorienting slice of futurism to compliment it quite nicely.
