They both feel like separate full stories and could easily be standalone :)

I changed the setting because if I had kept it the same then things would have to repeat a bit and that would have been boring for both me and readers of the first one.

The sequel has some really strange ideas and a veil of mystery to it, but it complements the first one which in turn complements it.

I hope you enjoy What Humanity Reaped as much as you did 'The Cropping of Life', though I'm shooting for more.
