Just wanted to mention a pretty big setting element that you may not be aware of if you didn't spend too much time digging into the preview doc.
There is basically Wi-Fi internet everywhere. Shortly before the crash an Elon Musk/Steve Jobs type character set up Ubiquitous internet via routers on high altitude balloons all over the place. The servers for this internet are kept in some high security mountain facility in Colorado. The system was protected and kept going by some mysterious hacker named Gnat. Gnat has ensured that Ubiq never goes down and that access to information is never blocked to either people in the Loss or in the Recession.
Gnat is a perpetual thorn in the side of the Department of Homeland Quarantine and Stewardship. But they also ironically rely on Ubiq to conduct a lot of their business too.
