Random Acts Of Senseless Violence by Jack Womack

Set in a near-future, collapsing New York, the story follows a teenage girl's diary as everyday life unravels into chaos: rising crime, martial law, racial and class tensions, and the breakdown of institutions. Through her voice we see the loss of innocence and the harsh choices forced by a society sliding into authoritarianism and violence, offering a bleak, intimate portrait of survival, media manipulation, and social fragmentation.
