Crunch — Matt Marshall

With the world spiraling toward climate-induced collapse ... a woman boldly combats abortion bans by performing vigilante vasectomies on businessmen; a farmer (and religious zealot) raises a band of warriors for Christ; scientists investigate an alarming case of nanobot infection; a sniper inflicts terror from the rooftops; and a classic, noir detective surveils them all, trudging through a hallucinogen-fueled, comic-book terrain of crime and controversy.

Told in a detached, objective style, with narrative threads continually lost and found in one another, Crunch fashions an unsettling swirl of representation, action and control, revealing a society churned into a desperate, repetitive scramble.
