Doc has already stated that we can't stop the
shutdown, or kill Deus, so we need at least one thing
to tie the chapters together. What if the central
idea was something simple?

For instance, a power outage. One writer could write
the cause of the outage as the first chapter, each
other chapter includes the blackout at some point in
the story. The book would simply be the arcology at a
glance. Everyone's stories would be occurring
simultaneously, so there is no need to put them in any
particular order.

What do you think?

Sorry if you get this twice I sent the first one to
the wrong list. Please No Blonde jokes!

That'd be better, I'd think. The event could be inconsequential in
some stories, and pivotal in others.
