INCARCERON by Catherine Fisher
This is a strange book. The first chapter is brilliant. I won't tell you why. Just read it. I finished INCARCERON a week ago, and I'm still thinking about it. It's a delicious blend of utopia and dystopia. Here are the thoughts that keep pestering my head:
- How much of a prison do we make our own lives, whether we're imprisoned or not?
- How far are you willing to go, for the greater good?
- At what point should you leave friends behind? Break a promise?
- If you could create the perfect world--would you? At what cost?
- How much of yourself should you give to protect those you love?
- Is it okay to use a few people, if you're trying to save a lot more?
- At what point does sacrifice become cruelty?
So...if you like books that make you ask those sorts of questions--"thinking" books that really dig into your brain--check INCARCERON out!
