I read The Carbon Diaries a while back, but didn't review it. I liked it but wasn't blown away. It made a nice comparison with the better-written and far more emotionally devastating, but less realistic and hopeful Life as We Knew It.
What was the comparison you were thinking of? Carbon Diaries, if I recall correctly, had a rather realistic state of neither extremely over-controlled nor extremely chaotic, but of an ordinarily orderly society sliding into breakdown.
