There are several interwoven storylines in this book - some I enjoyed more than others.What I found most interesting is how they begin transitioning from a higher to lower technological level due to equipment breaking down from age and/or lack of resources to fix them, as well as how they face the challenges of keeping such a large and diverse population educated and informed.I also enjoyed the storylines about how they prepare for the return of Thread after a "Some good storylines, one not-so-much" according to Bec.
