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 depicts a pressure-cooker society beset by extreme, desperate, and monitored behavior - a swirling chaos that might too easily be our own.
