This is revenge for the nukes. You thought they would forget about those, but they didn't, and now you have to pay.

Nah. The reason that so many shut themselves in like that is because the world around them is poison and they just can't deal with it. I bet if you dragged them off and put them to work on a farm out away from the Internet and TV in fair conditions, you'd be surprised by how many make a recovery.

It's funny you quote Huxley because in Brave New World this is effectively what John the Savage did, and he ended up whipping the shit out of himself daily (self-flagellating if you prefer). But the story seems to suggest that he might've been alright had society not come to him.
