pickI‘m not going to lie and say I understood everything this book was trying to say, but it‘s interesting how relevant this book still is. I could see how 1984 and other dystopian novels pulled from it.

Even though the tagged book was written in 2018 and set in 2045, it so nailed the 1980s for me. I loved it. And it‘s been much longer since I‘ve read Eleanor and Park, but I remember really feeling my generation‘s vibes.
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView ! 😁
pickWow. Just... Wow. This book was dark, unsettling, and dystopian. But it was also fascinating, philosophical, and deeply human. This is among the best speculative fiction I have ever read.
so-soMeh. This felt not so different from The Circle, just more of cyber-corporations getting more ludicrous and digging roots further into every aspect of humanity. It‘s a tense read, funny and scary at the same time because it‘s easy to see the parallel with reality.
I‘d definitely say #borrowdontbuy but also I wouldn‘t say you‘d miss much if you skip it.
pickDevoured this! Wow. Now I need all my friends to read it so I can unpack all of the major philosophical points! This was a perfect blend of thought-provoking, let-me-chew-on-this and easeful, getting-lost-in-a-good-book vibes. It‘s such a big concept (a world of immortality) but Shusterman has an answer for everything. I loved the characters and I‘m so excited to see where the series takes them!
1) Yes, I'd say there are a few.
2) first to come to mind is Harry Potter, but for obvious reasons I'm not tagging it. My second choice is tagged.
