This is a cool as hell idea. I’m very interested. You have the code/ project up anywhere?

A great balm in tone and structure is A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.

The crash hasn’t happened, but people have moved on and constructed a mostly functioning new world. The plot and climax are also appropriately sized - they are about people not an apocalypse.

I’m older and I can’t think of any sexual relationship where either partner began things by asking about the other’s experience.
