Legend och Enclave
I jul köpte jag fyra st dystopier till mig själv. Jag har nu läst ut dessa två. Legend av Marie Lu och Enclave av Ann Aguirre. Jag gillade båda väldigt mycket!
LEGEND
"MY MOTHER THINKS I´M DEAD.
Obviously I´m not dead, but it´s safer for her to think so. At least twice a month, I see my Wanted poster flashed on the JumboTrons scattered throughout downtown Los Angeles. It looks out of place up there. Most of the pictures on the screens are of happy things: smiling children standing under a bright blue sky, tourists posing before the Golden Gate Ruins, Republic commercials in neon colors. there´s also anti-Colonies propaganda. "The Colonies want our land," the ads declare. "They want what they don´t have. Don´t let them conquer your homes! Support the cause!" Then there´s my criminal report. It lights up the JumboTrons in all its multicolored glory:
WANTED BY THE REPUBLIC
file no: 462178-3233 "DAY"
---------------------------------
WANTED FOR ASSAULT, ARSON, THEFT,
DESTRUCTION OF MILITARY PROPERTY,
AND HINDERING THE WAR EFFORT
200,000 REPUBLIC NOTES FOR
INFORMATION LEADING TO ARREST
------------------------------------------
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until one day...
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until one day...
Detta är en härlig dystopi. Den var verkligen spännande! Hoppas ni läser den!
ENCLAVE
In Deuce’s world, people earn the right to a name only if they survive their first fifteen years. By that point, eachunnamed ‘brat’ has trained into one of three groups–Breeders, Builders, or Hunters, identifiable by the number of scars they bear on their arms. Deuce has wanted to be a Huntress for as long as she can remember.
As a Huntress, her purpose is clear—to brave the dangerous tunnels outside the enclave and bring back meat to feed the group while evading ferocious monsters known as Freaks. She’s worked toward this goal her whole life, and nothing’s going to stop her, not even a beautiful, brooding Hunter named Fade. When the mysterious boy becomes her partner, Deuce’s troubles are just beginning.
Även detta var en härlig dystopi. Det som jag gillade extra mycket med denna bok var när man försöker klura ut hur världen ska se ut. Man vet att det är i framtiden. Men ändå har så mycket vetenskap gått förlorad. Deuces folk blir max 25-26 år, då är de gamla och dör. Varför är det så? Hur kommer det sig att de lever nere i tunnlarna? Vilka är dessa "Freaks" som jagar dem och äter deras invånare? LÄS DEN.
(bild från crysis 2. Tyckte bilden passa in på temat)
En dystopi (även kallad anti-utopi eller kakotopi) är en negativ samhällsvision. Det är motsatsen till utopi. Ordet kommer från grekiskans δυσ- och τόπος, som sammansatt betyder ”dålig plats”.
