AG’s utilitarian decisions-such as shutting down domes and sacrificing millions for resource optimization-raise ethical questions that sift progress and morality, with the contrast between the sterile perfection of dome life and the chaotic wilderness just outside underscoring the fragility of human civilization when stripped of its technological crutches.' - Publishers Weekly
