This was a great thought provoking book. The year is 2032
and everyone is controlled by their handheld devices. It stores all their
likes and dislikes, tracks everywhere you go and everything you do so that you
do not have to make any decisions for yourself. You just ask
"Lux", the decision making app. Those who listen to their inner
voices, "their gut" are outsiders, shunned, psychotic.
Rory is a junior in high school just
accepted to the prestigious Theden Academy. If she graduates, her
successful future is guaranteed. But the more familiar Rory
becomes with the people at Theden, the more questions she has and the more her
inner voice speaks to her. All is not as it seems. In addition, she
seems to fall hard for North, a handsome tattooed barista form the local town.
He is banned from Theden for breaking and entering. Rory is drawn
to his intelligence. Little does she know of the secrets he keeps.
I really liked this book and found all the
reference to people walking around, looking down at their devices very timely..
