The Declaration
The Declaration | Gemma Malley
4 posts | 28 read | 11 to read
It's the year 2140 and Anna shouldn't be alive. Nor should any of the children she lives with at Grange Hall. The facility is full of kids like her, kids whose parents chose to recklessly abuse Mother Nature and have children despite a law forbidding them from doing so as long as they took longevity drugs. To pay back her parents' debt to Mother Nature, Anna will have to work for the rest of her life. But then Peter appears at the hall, and he tells a very different story about the world outside of the Grange. Peter begs Anna to escape Grange Hall, and to claim a life for herself outside its bleak walls. But even if they get out, they still have to make their way to London, to Anna's parents, and to an underground movement that's determined to bring back children and rid the world of longevity drugs.

I enjoyed this. It's set in a near future where aging has been cured. The catch is that no new humans are allowed to be born. Those who sign the “declaration,“ pledge not to have children in exchange for anti-aging drugs. Those who break their promise are jailed and their illegal children are trained as indentured servants.

It's the year 2140, and drugs have eradicated old age. Anna lives at a facility full of unwanted kids called surpluses. These children are raised as servants, and brought up to believe they must work for their very existence.

Then Peter appears, bringing news of the world outside where people say that people "shouldn't" live forever. Peter begs Anna to escape with him, but Anna's not sure who to trust.
