I love dystopian movies and shows, too. Like *cough* The Purge *cough* That movie was marketed as a horror/thriller, but it was dystopian to me. And thriller, too. That movie explored people's true nature and that bad things can happen anywhere to anyone, even if you're super rich. <br /><br />I agree! That book freaked me out, too. The premise of this book also reminded me of Doctor Who, which Janie and I are big fans of as you know. There was an episode where people's TVs were stealing their faces. I'm surprised I can even look at a TV, lol. <br /><br />I can see wrist bands like that being invented, too. I hope we don't have to worry about that anytime soon. I can just see younger people being all about it, and people our age and older would be totally against it. There was an episode of Doctor Who where everyone is implanted with a microchip in their brain, and the news and things were downloaded directly into the mind. That scares me so much. That was the Cybermen episode. EEK! <br /><br />Tech always outpaces what we as a species are ready for, so it would all go to shit, too. I know it. <br /><br />Thank you, Robyn! That's lovely to think about. :) ~Jennifer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05952809868354553112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-52387143117774228542014-07-14T20:17:38.050-04:002014-07-14T20:17:38.050-04:00Thank you, Aneta!

They're interesting and can start up some really great discussions.

This one...I remember when you did the cover reveal. This one caught my eye. I haven't read all that many dystopians, but I'm crazy about dystopian movies/TV shows. I love the struggle to survive and how people's true nature shines bright as day. <br /><br />The premise is awesome. First with the girl being frozen because of brain damage, what a great spin, then to have the world change so much and for it to be 1984-ish. That book freaked me out so much. I never looked at the TV the same way again. I'm leery of the wrist bands that do everything. I can see society creating tech like that to take care of all the day to day tasks and then it all going to shit.<br /><br />I'm glad you loved it. Don't be too jealous, Donnie Darko Girl who loves zombies and still gets all gushy over romance and kick ass girls has her stories to tell.robgirlbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398614063792587098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-26065127978203509902014-07-11T17:57:32.194-04:002014-07-11T17:57:32.194-04:00Great Review!

And I like books that are provocative - especially about the future of our world and species. I'm also curious to see how Claire handles it all. Thanks for sharing this book. :)Bookworm Brandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834408515209743135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-21787562965517817402014-07-11T11:32:52.286-04:002014-07-11T11:32:52.286-04:00I am seeing some great reviews of this book all ov...I am seeing some great reviews of this book all over the blogosphere!
