Comment on the opening. How effective? How does it try to hook you? What is introduced?

The opening was very effective. It's straightforward, like it should be in a short story. Already in the first sentences we get to know that the world is at its end, and how they reacted. That's really hook's you. We get introduced to a rich, snobby pop star that's realizing that U.S.A is at war and that there are diseases and radiation poisoning spreading all over the country.
