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
