In this future you live calorie to calorie and getting the next meal is not guaranteed. Unless you live in the inner parts of one of the cities. We don't meet any of those people, they are the real 1%. The novel follows two people trying to squeak by out on the plains when an opportunity comes along that's too much to pass on. They take the opportunity and then nothing goes well at all for them, much to do with the main character's idiocy, until the end of the book. My main gripe besides the main character's idiocy (he should have Darwin'd out a while ago if this is how he constantly acts and thinks) was the ending, it could have gone on for a couple chapters more and had a conclusion; either they get back home where the girl has the baby, maybe after surviving another attack by the people in the woods, or they go to the other city to buy stuff where things can go wrong (second book maybe?), or Just setting up the second book better. I don't know, it's not my story, but I liked it none-the-less. Worth a read.
