Made it to 170k today. Slow, plodding progress. Still working on the climax, and realized I need to explain a little more about "how things work" to the reader in a prior scene in order to get the climax to work. May need to add another scene earlier in the book to prevent the horrible "mind dump" of explaining things all at once.
I think that is one of the greatest challenges in world building. How do you do it without creating a rant of 50 pages like John Galt's scene at the end of "Atlas Shrugged"?

Clues along the way. Think of your three-paragraph explanation of what's happened, then think what it implies as a little detail in daily life, and put that in; repeat until all the data are set up.
