I love that you did a depression scale for these stories. I felt the exact same way about the entire collection, down to which stories I liked and didn't.

Did you also get the impression from the mutant bedbug story that the protagonists were going to die of pesticide poisoning about two hours after the story ended? There seemed to be an awful lot of set-up about how toxic the pesticide was for that to not be the intended implication.

I would love to see a similar anthology - with the same writers, even - where the theme is something like "space opera" rather than dystopia. Because wow, did this set of writers take "dystopia" seriously.
