Lunar Royalty, Cybernetic Slaves, and Average People in Cinder

Past couple weeks have been chaos with me working on getting a full-time job. Nevertheless, we gotta finish up Cinder by Marissa Meyer with a quick chat on the cultures.

Funny enough, my job hunting relates a lot to this topic. As a contracted designer (and having interned with several companies), I’ve witnessed very many workplace cultures that have their highs and lows. The motivations, mentalities, even the people create the overall atmosphere and determine how one approaches or tries to fit in. Different demographics nestle within said cultures too, bringing even more impressions, practices, and ideologies. Culture can be difficult to nail down unless you look with a wide lens and zoom in gradually. Otherwise, you miss the depth.
