This one is worth picking up! It's impossible not to compare it to Brave New World and 1984, but this is a much NICER scary future. At the heart of the story is a very smart girl who has to decide what is real, and what is worth fighting for. I really liked Maddie, and it is nice to see a male main character who is a rebel WITH a cause (instead of just standing around looking broody). Some of the technology in this book is really, really cool, but I loved how the descriptions of things in everyday life (the ocean, fire) were so special because they were being viewed by someone who had never seen them before. I hope Kacvinsky writes more!
