Rory lives by her Lux . She gets into this prestigious Thedan Academy , and she finds out that her mother went there also. She also finds out that her mom has some secrets. The school has a partnership with Gnosis.
She gets to the school, and meets North ( a townie) and her room mate is Hershey. Her Lux is still making the many choices for her through out the day. North is a townie who works at the local coffee shop, and helps a local band.
Rory also gets an initiation into a secret club at the school. Through out the book -- Milton's Paradise is brought up , along with free will , choice, and doubt. Rory has to make some tough choices and some secrets come to light.
This book was better than I thought it would be. It also made me realize that having something in your hands is an addiction. I admit that I don't play games on Facebook because I know that they can become addictive. I know because I love to play Tetris . I also know with social media and being online can cause a disconnect in relationships. My kids don't have cell phones , nor are they on social media. My kids also have an online time on the computer. I also DON'T always share everything that's really going on here. This book was good because I can see this happening with cell phones & apps.

I think this book sounds interesting, although the idea that people only listen to an app sounds a bit weird. I think an app never could take away your whole free will, maybe if you allow it to, but if you keep a bit of common sense and think before following the advice of an app. I do think it's an interesting topic especially in todays world where phones and being online keep becoming more important.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope not! That would be so scary, to have an App take away free will - granted technology today is overwhelming and there are many addicted to it :/
ReplyDeletethis sounds very interesting!!! I sure hope they don't ever develop an app to take away free will. Most of the population, especially the younger generation, would be screwed :) thanks for sharing!
