Suspicious Society (n.)
The Suspicious Society spawned from a combination of the Surveillance Society that preceded it and the unprecedented rise in domestic terrorism that culminated in the Aquifer Attacks of 2029.

Goes with the territory. It’s one thing you have to be aware of, constantly: them knowing what you might need before you know it. Welcome to the Suspicious Society suburbs of the New City.

Why do you think the last dozen years have moved us into this all-connected, all-suspicious society?...Water shortage. And the thought that terrorists could do more damage.

That seepage is what we call 911, the Eastern European Scare, and the Aquifer Attacks. The cracks have developed in such numbers that those hungry for control will seal them. It’s all a part of their engineered Suspicious Society, where you get the people to do the work for you. Make them fearful of each other.
