You know how you have a pet dog or cat and they're the cutest, sweetest thing in the world and then they have that moment, no matter how cute and sweet they are, when their primeval instinct flashes before you? A growl or a bite, something that reminds you, if only for an instant, that you're sharing your home with an animal rather than a family member or a fluffy plaything. It's not something to worry about, but it's there, ever present beneath the surface.
Now take that to the ultimate level. Look around at all the people you interact with on a daily basis, all the people you blindly pass on the street, everyone collectively agreeing to a social contract of general civility. But, really, what's stopping anyone from attacking anyone else, from doing whatever they wanted? How thin is that line?
That's a central thread in this first volume of an intriguing new series. How much distance is really between civilization and chaos? While they don't follow that thread as thoroughly as I would have liked, they do raise some thought-provoking questions that carry the story to the big twist cliffhanger (that, unfortunately, I mostly saw coming).
I'm a little worried this could turn into a generic dystopian story line, but we'll see.

It was alright. It sets up a dystopian future and goes back and forth between present day and 25 years in the future where anarchy has become the norm. This is only vol. 1 but I feel like the future story line didn't really bring much to the table at the end.
