However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished.
Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. Rife with action and suspense, this riveting companion to the perennially popular Unwind challenges assumptions about where life begins and ends—and what it means to live.
Book two, Unwholly, follows the stories of various teens living outside of the law, many in underground sanctuaries for unwinds until they are eighteen and lawfully protected. Lev, Conner, and Risa face challenges both old and new as they continue to fight to protect threatened teens. While the government continues to crack down on resistance to unwinding and pirates continue to flood the black-market with runaway unwinds, there are also rescued teens who actually want to live divided, as well as newly discovered underground communities—both for and against unwinding—that emerge.
There is also the matter of Cam, the first composite human. Combined, Lev, Conner, Risa, and others face an increasingly surveilled and hostile environment. To add to the terror of this dystopic future, Shusterman includes real news pieces that show how society might be heading to an eerily similar ideological place.
Various perspectives intensify the complex systems the protagonists are working against, namely the complicity with which average citizens accept legal policy.
Smart, intense, and thought provoking, this series will stick with readers. Connor, aka the Akron AWOL, now heads up the resistance at the Graveyard, an abandoned airfield where plus unwind escapees live in hiding. Lev, a former tithe, now leads missions to rescue other tithes from unwinding and sends them to a camp where they can cope. Enter Cam, a schizophrenic, teenage Frankenstein built from the body parts of 99 different unwound teens. While the plot moves quickly, the work definitely reads like a sequel—a good one.
Shusterman is obviously setting the scene for a big climax in Book 3, and his only fault is excess. A breathless, unsettling read. Science fiction. It does bring up philosophical questions that will never be concretely answered. My only concern is that Cam is referred to as a teenage Frankenstein.
Mary Shelley wrote a beautiful masterpiece that should not be misquoted in the literary world. Victor Frankenstein was the Creator. The true significance is that his Creation was never loved nor nurtured and was never given a name. There is power in being loved enough to be given a name and to refer to the Creation as Frankenstein is a disservice to Mary Shelley. Well, they are just are just trying to show how it is relatable to the Frankenstein story.
Some people may not be able to relate until they added the Frankenstein part. Considering that cars are still the main mode of transportation I think that neal is right and that its roughly 10 to 20 years in a alternative the future. I would love to see this as a TV series.
