Ok, no one's chimed in on this yet, any Dutch here? I have to say this is the chapter I like the least. This is Corporate world, pools of toxic sludge and lots of coast. There's little enough difference, from this chapter, between the Netherlands and the toxic wastes of the UK and Seattle. The only hint of there being something else is on page 214, talking about the liberal attitudes of the people Amsterdam towards Metas "a contrast from other areas of the UNL" which implies there's a degree of prejudicetowards metas in the rest of the population, but that's not mentioned in the rest of the text. Metas? Magic? Asians? internal transport?

On the map of the UNL it shows few cities, but it does list Einhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem. I could be wrong, but I thought these three cities weren't particularly large or important, except for a few days in Sept 1944.
