Awaken (Awaken #1)
by Katie Kacvinsky
Maddie lives in a world
where everything is done on the computer. Whether it’s to go to school
or on a date, people don’t venture out of their home. There’s really no
need. For the most part, Maddie’s okay with the solitary, digital
life—until she meets Justin. Justin likes being with people. He enjoys
the physical closeness of face-to-face interactions. People aren’t meant
to be alone, he tells her.
Suddenly, Maddie feels something
awakening inside her—a feeling that maybe there is a different, better
way to live. But with society and her parents telling her otherwise,
Maddie is going to have to learn to stand up for herself if she wants to
change the path her life is taking.
In this not-so-brave new world, two young people struggle to carve out their own space.
