The 3rd story in the anthology, "Byways" by Tobias S. Buckell, follows a character from the first book, after leaving Detroit and starting to work on a road crew that goes through the Midwest tearing up roads and suburbs to start the process of a rewilded Midwest. The politicking and espionage make it a fun story, where the anarchist societies we met in the first book become a bit more complicated when their form of development comes in conflict with other regions. Dealing with power generation and a balkanized North America, it feels like peak behind the curtain of a possible future.
