   It's a new book, but the subject matter is very novel. It's a microcosm, and it feels like 500 million people from all over the world have been thrown into a survival game. The known areas include ocean, desert, sky, cave, and forest. Each area has two different sub-regions. The Chinese are thrown into the sea, the Americans are thrown into the desert, and the bears are in the forest... It feels like people are deliberately thrown into environments they're not suited for (personal speculation). This survival game also seems a bit off; it's a bit like something handcrafted by a Cthulhu god, and a bit like something they stole from somewhere. I'm not quite sure what it is yet...
