Thought provoking and at times eerily relatable, this piece of satire walks a fine line between utopian and dystopian fiction. Young adults readers will be encouraged to ask themselves difficult questions as they read. A great choice for those who are hoping to reevaluate our connection to technology and consider what it is that makes us human.Publisher's description:
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon -- a chance to party during spring break. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its ever-present ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. M. T. Anderson’s not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.
