The New Wilderness

My engagement level with the plot waxed and waned. There was something in the logisticial setup of this near-future world that just didn't click. Why this game-like wilderness experiment? Why keep them in the dark? Why keep us in the dark? Also, it felt the author really wanted to pack in all these messages about motherhood, home, nature, becoming feral, etc, but she was trying slightly too hard in my opionion. Nevertheless, I enjoyed some of this, especially my days with Agnes.
