Fiction. A dystopic novel including a trio of rebellious teenage girls, a wired and paranoid commander, a faithful lieutenant protecting her commander, a babbling genius whose photographic memory has gone awry, and sundry villains and heroes. Meads examines this not-so-distant future not to entertain us with techno-gadgetry, but to reflect on our own time and find that general emotional confusion remains the human constant, no matter what the situation, no matter how much--or how little--information inserts itself.
