What this book is about
Katie Kacvinsky's YA dystopian novel is set in 2060, where virtually everything is done digitally and most people have never been in the same room as another person. Maddie starts breaking the rules when she meets Justin, who is part of a movement to bring people back together physically. Kacvinsky writes accessible YA with genuine warmth; the dystopia is thought-provoking. Appropriate for all ages.
