The end of the world without social media.
You make seem peaceful in your story even though deep down Bindy would like to relax in front of a television one day.
Pip's curiosity is adorable too.
Your story is wonderful, I enjoyed it.

I read this book once where there was an EMP. All the people were pretty much 'hooked' up to the internet all the time - not with devices, but their brains, prob via implants, I can't recall. After the 'apocalypse', that is, the system entirely crashing, people's brains would just search blindly for information - maps, facts, how to's - and it would drive some of them crazy, because they couldn't access it anymore. And most people HAD NO IDEA how to do the simplest things, like light a fire, or grow food - they had to learn again to survive. I can't recall the name of the book, but I think that concept has always stuck with me. I like the idea of a world without technology, or manipulative media.

I'm don't usually read sci-fi, but this book has an intriguing storyline.
I'd really love to read how they all had to start from the scratch without technology.
