Über diesen Titel

A cunning teen memory merchant falls for the handsome rookie officer on her tail in this swoony dystopian romance that's “one to watch” (Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of The Isles of the Gods)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: YALSA'S BEST FICTION FOR YOUNG ADULTS, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, AND KIRKUS REVIEWS


In 2364, eighteen-year-old Liv Newman dreams of a future beyond her lower-class life in the Metro. As a Proxy, she uses the neurochip in her brain to sell memories to wealthy clients. Maybe a few illegally, but money equals freedom. So when a customer offers her a ludicrous sum to go on an assignment in no-man’s-land, Liv accepts. Now she just has to survive.

Rookie Forceman Adrian Rao believes in order over all. After discovering that a renegade Proxy’s shady dealings are messing with citizens’ brain chemistry, he vows to extinguish the threat. But when he tracks Liv down, there’s one problem: her memories are gone. Can Adrian bring himself to condemn her for crimes she doesn’t remember?

As Liv and Adrian navigate the world beyond the Metro and their growing feelings for one another, they grapple with who they are, who they could be, and whether another way of living is possible.

Kritikerstimmen

★ "A gutsy debut that will leave readers wanting more." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "Messy human emotions strain against technology and morality in this high-stakes story packed with slow-burn pining and plentiful tension, enriched by skillful worldbuilding and nods to Henry David Thoreau’s Walden." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "A masterpiece of speculative, postapocalyptic fiction that ­demands to be devoured in a night or two, this is a white-knuckle ride into the future that is both moving and frightening. If Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower were written for teens, it might look like Tew’s ­debut." —School Library Journal, starred review

"A simple, sweet romance with dystopian flavor and a hopeful ending that is perfect for genre beginners." —Booklist

Dynamic, vivid, and electrifying.” —AYANA GRAY, New York Times bestselling author of Beasts of Prey
