Blog entry 4 The Specials

"Tally glanced down to check herself for growing silver dots. She wondered if the sprayers inside were getting the hungry nanos under control, or whether the whole building was going to sink into the earth. If the silver goo was the sort of stuff the Armory kept in its museum, what were the "serious" weapons stored deep underground like? Of course, destroying once building  wasn't much by Rust standards. They'd killed whole cities with  a single bomb, sickened generations with radioactivity and poisons."(129)

They even have biotechnological weapons... That's intense. I think its a little to much though, why do they need to invent such weapons to do so much harm? And when did the rusties get so biotech advanced? Before they almost had no technology and now they have all this? That's crazy. It is sad to think about this kind of dystopian future were lives mean nothing, all it is about it having fun and leisure time and relying on technology to produce all their solutions to any problems the might encounter. What type of life is that? The pretties do not even think never mind think for themselves, the rusties harm the pretties, and the specials are just somewhere in between. I kind of find myself confused in this huge scheme of things. But one thing is for sure that this is a dystopian society because of biotechnology has fallen into the wrong hands that use to to much and creates it more powerful in order to maintain control and power. Which is no way at all to use biotechnology. Especially when they are talking about poisoning generations, just because we simply have the technology to. What type of perfect society is this? It is crazy how no one stops this, even the people in charge think they are doing the right thing... How did this all start and why did no one stop it or make at least a fighting chance against it?
