In fact you are tagged with a tattoo that indicates your age- for girls when you are 16 you recieve an XVI on your wrist which idicates you are now fair game, you are now officially "sex-teen". Right down to when you can become sexually active. Here we see a world where the media and the government work in lock step to control everything. With all the marketing that is happening today, aimed at tweens and teens, it isn't a huge leap to see how in the future that we will be so inundated with it that it controls every moment of our lives and every choice we make. In fact it's a lesson in unintended consequences. I love the idea that you can take what is happening right now and imagine a future where the consequences are huge. Review: It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of dystopian. ![]()
