(2023) YA dystopia, set in a future world where everyone's physical needs are met by universal fabricator machines, and in exchange humans give up weapons technology, fertility, and literacy. When our heroine Lilith saves a librarian from execution, she sets out on a path that explodes her understanding of the world and takes her to its edge, with ponderings along the way about information, communication, and the responsibilities of institutions.

The gods say, “You shall not suffer a librarian to live.” Then a librarian falls into Lilith‘s city, upending all she knows of her family, the gods, & her world.

This blew me away. After a slow start, we get expansive world building w/out being overwhelming. A fascinating character arc for a proactive young lady. Action, excitement, but also deep discussions on literacy & community & the responsibility of those in power. Excited for 2! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
