I've been sort of wondering whether 6 wasn't going a bit the way of Detroit in terms of increasing automation decreasing the labor needs--otherwise wouldn't the Capitol be more concerned with tamping down rampant drug use? I guess it's also possible that we're all overstating the "6 is the morphling district" case but the other is kind of interesting to think about.
That's one of the areas I diverge from lorataprose and a lot of other fans. I don't think that abuse of morphling is widespread in Six, if only because I don't think enough morphling gets to Six to allow that to happen. I think there may be quite a lot of abuse of inhalants like some types of solvents or whatnot that are involved in manufacture, but I don't think it's so bad it's debilitating to a large portion of the population, because I think that would start to interfere with the quality/quantity of what's sent to the Capitol, which I don't think they would tolerate.
This sounds interesting, I haven't read her fic, I'll have to look it up, any particular recs?
Hmmmm... Regarding her theories on how merchants stay afloat in D12, I'd recommend The Final Eight (parts of THG from Delly's POV), The End of the World (Haymitch's games), and The Rites of Fall (Twelve after Haymitch's games). Generally, I like all of her fiction, but I think The End of the World and The Golden Mean (Haymitch during CF) are my favorites.
