Game
Game | Monica Hughes
3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
The Game is just the beginning... It's the year 2154. Lisse and her friends have been deemed unemployable in the eyes of society. Now they must scavenge the disintegrating city for food and shelter, just to make ends meet. But their dismal existence starts to look up when Lisse and her friends are invited to participate in The Game, an experience highly regarded in their society. The Game is a virtual reality experience where they are challenged to survive. But as they spend more time in The Game, the line between reality and fantasy starts to blur. What started as a simple exercise quickly becomes a test of endurance, trust, and their will to live.

Day #27 of #NovemberbytheNumbers. Twenty-seven years ago, one of my first ever favorite #dystopian/#speculativefiction #YA novels was published. On the left is my OG copy, which I‘ve had for 25 years; on the right is the first edition I snagged recently via either Amazon or ThriftBooks. Today, this book is published as simply The Game. It remains one of my all time favorite examples of this genre, if very heteronormative.

My first experience with sci-fi was reading the book The Game by Monica Hughes when I was in something like 4th or 5th grade I remember loving it. It's about a a bunch of college kids in a dystopian world chosen to play a game that prepares them for a new life on another planet. Recently I was dying to reread it so I searched for it based on what I remembered of the plot and was able to find it! It was such a trip down memory lane. #payitforward

JPeterson This sounds like something I would have loved as a middle schooler! I might still have to try it. 😊 8y
