Now, although this is technically three books,
the trilogy has to be read together. Otherwise, the themes are
incomplete in my opinion. Having read each book back to back, cover to cover,
the story of death and humanity’s incapability of dealing with it in wholesome
fashions is brilliantly articulated by Neal Shusterman.
As I have personally
delved into the dystopian genre due to my own creative endeavors, I always like
to see another author’s take on the genre. Not only does this world extrapolate
the possibilities of death being conquered, but it battles with the question of
how involved should technology be in our lives, to what end do we worship this
technology, and what are the warning signs that lead to our complacency.

In a perfect world, what is there left to fear? A chilling and thought-provoking sci-fi novel from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman.
A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death.
In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn…
America is a fantastic country that has
offered more opportunities to change one’s economic status than any other
country. That being said, few understand why this has even been made possible
by the Free Enterprise System and how it is at risk by careless policies,
flippant politicians, and complacent citizens within their communities.
I no
longer wanted to be a part of that group of people and figured who better to
learn about economics than Milton Freidman. While this book is dense with
information, the economic principles are articulated in such a straightforward
fashion that even a college dropout like me can understand and apply them.
Argues that free-market forces work better than government controls for achieving real equality and security, protecting consumers and workers, providing education, and avoiding inflation and unemployment.
In a world full of outrage and demands for
justice, having become familiar with Edward Bernays and his work in propaganda
and marketing, it seemed to me that a lot of the noise was guided and
misappropriated, especially when it came to identity politics.
So, I wanted to
know more, and this book was the red pill! I’ve been a longtime fan of James
Lindsay and his work. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his studies on Marxism, and this
book is the blueprint for the applied strategies being utilized by Modern
Marxists to infiltrate the education system and mold the minds of impressionable youth.
This, in my opinion, is a major crux that is creating the
dystopian reality that we all are living in.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga or cook Chinese food? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western society?

In this new American dystopian, we follow both
Jax, a lowly mill worker in an unnamed tyrannical future, and Mica Rouge, a
former veteran who is watching his country being torn apart in a
not-too-distant time. In a war across time, both men are pulled into a fight
against the Nine, the Ordean Reich, and their dystopian designs for not only
the United States but the world.
In this debut novel by American author Kawika
Miles, readers will find themselves in a refreshing take on the dystopian
genre.
While the world Miles creates is rampant with your typical themes of
censorship, corruption, rebellion, and tyranny, characters are rife with
internal conflict due to the violence, betrayal, and dishonor within
factions and amongst apparent comrades.
