Author: Katie Kacvinsky
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcour
Release Date: November 20, 2012
In this provocative cautionary tale for teens, the sequel to Awaken, seventeen-year-old Maddie’s rebellion against the digital-only life grows dangerous. Maddie is in Los Angeles, trying to stay out of trouble. But one night, a seemingly small act of defiance lands her in the place she fears the most: a detention center. Here, patients are reprogrammed to accept a digital existence. Maddie is now fighting for her mind, her soul, and her very life. Once again, Katie Kacvinsky paints a disturbing picture of our increasingly technology-based society. (Goodreads)
I don't know if many of you read Awaken, but I consider it to be a great Dystopian book that slipped between the cracks. When it went up against the likes of Divergent, it kind-of remained invisible. However, I really, really loved it, and am super excited for the sequel! And hello, the book covers' in this series are awesome!
